I'm sorry about your nephew. But I'd like to tell you that actually cancer treatment has gotten better: http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Documents/AboutUs/Newsroom/LivingAfterCancerMedianCancerSurvivalTimes.pdf http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Documents/AboutUs/Newsroom/Livin... The situation isn't great and that report highlights the problems. And rare cancers are not going to attract research effort until the common ones are solved. But fundamental research is what is required. And I believe that rich philanthropists are going to remain an essential part in funding that research.
