As someone who lost a few loved ones to cancer, I wished the same thing. It'd be awesome if Elon tried to innovate healthcare. But unfortunately, it is very unlikely according to what Elon said in an interview: Source: http://www.gq.com/news-politics/newsmakers/200901/elon-musk-paypal-solar-power-electric-cars-space-travel http://www.gq.com/news-politics/newsmakers/200901/elon-musk-... ---------------------------------------------------- Elon: "It's important enough to be on the scale of life itself, and therefore goes beyond the parochial concerns of humanity," Musk says of our interplanetary destiny. "We're all focused on our little things that are of concern to humanity itself. People think of curing AIDS or cancer as being very important, and they are—within the context of humanity. But curing all forms of cancer would improve the average life span by only two to three years. That's it." "In other words, while eradicating disease is a worthy pursuit, and would extend the lives of individual human beings, my life's work is extending the life span of life itself." ---------------------------------------------------- Interesting to hear that coming from someone who has 5 kids. http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mkm45fjlie/elon-musk-10/#gallerycontent http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mkm45fjlie/elon-musk-10/#gall... By the way, Elon did talk about some projects he would like to do if he had the time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FESP1h7IZM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FESP1h7IZM
