Meanwhile, the $1000 bet I made with my college buddy that cancer would (not) be cured by 2022 is still very much up in the air.

- pmiller2 8y agoI wouldn’t go that far, unless you and your buddy are both mice. Even if a cure for all cancers were discovered tomorrow, you’d have to progress from testing in Petri dishes (maybe), to mice, to safety trials in people, to double blind controlled studies in people, to regulatory approval, to clinical practice, all in under 4 years. If I were your buddy betting on the cure, I would offer to settle for $500 today.
