Sometime in this century, we will have a cure for most cancers.
Most likely by catching it very early.
There’s nothing arrogant about humanity working really hard to solve a problem.
I’m sure the Big Guy would rather we had spent the $2 trillion on cancer research instead of 2 wars.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoI witnessed an amazing nuclear medicine talk that showed how the power of a single radioactive atom delivered to the right cell can destroy it in one single decay. The caveat was that the entire worlds source of these types of isotopes is only enough for one or two doses a day of targeted therapy. The general theme of the talk was that centuries from now, this is what medicine will look like, but it will take humanity many years to raise the education threshold enough for people to want ‘nuclear’ in their backyard. Another interesting tidbit was that the value of single fissile event used for medicine in this way was about ten thousand times more valuable than when used for energy generation.
