- spartanatreyu 3y agoThat's not even a joke. If Google had a magical cancer cure, they would absolutely stop supporting it. The manager in charge of that project got their promotion, and the new manager brought in won't get any credit for maintaining an existing project, they need a new project they can put their name on.

- Rebelgecko 3y agoThe worst part is that you have to take the medication for 20 months before you're cured
- ithkuil 3y agoThey'd develop the cure in the open, all their researchers will end up working for a new startup starting off as a non profit but then spinning off a for profit company which will actually make a working cure and everybody will wonder why Google lost their lead at cancer research
- cvs268 3y agoHmmm... if the cure for cancer is offerred as a subscription model, that requires an active Google account, well...
