cancer is just aging . we all have to die somehow when its time to go. How exactly do you wish death comes to you?

  Cancer is just aging like dying from tetanus or rabies is just aging. On a long enough timeline everybody eventually steps on a rusty nail or gets scratched by a bat. If you solve everything that kills you then you don't die from "just aging" anymore.

    news to me that tetanus and rabies predominantly is affliction of the old https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-statistics/mortality/age#heading-Zero https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-... > Children aged 0-14, and teenagers and young adults aged 15-24, each account for less than one per cent > Adults aged 25-49 contribute around 5 in 100 (4%) of all cancer death oh yea can cancer has nothing to do with age, its just all random like stepping on a nail.

      If not for everything else that kills you first, then tetanus and rabies is an affliction of the old. But of course it's not, because we have near-100% cures for both. Just like we should have for every other affliction, which would make being old no longer synonymous with being sick and frail and dying.

        - 19% were in those <20 years, including a single neonatal case - 20% in those 65 and older. for tetanus Age would be irrelevant even if cured everything else I don't see how thats affliction of old

  Cool. Tell that to my 35 year old friend who died of cancer last year. Or, better yet, the baby of a family friend that was born with brain cancer. You might have had a hard time getting her to hear you with all the screaming in pain she constantly did until she finally mercifully died before her first birthday, though.
