re: #124 Dreggas

with all the money that goes to finding a “cure” you’d think they’d have found one by now. But just looking at the major backers of SGK, the companies who make the mammography machines, the drug companies that produce the medications to treat the issues etc. it re-affirms my belief that, at least in this country, no one is really interested in a “cure” for most diseases since treating these illnesses gives a better return on investment for shareholders.

I don’t think it’s fair to say they’re intentionally avoiding finding a cure to cancer, since that’s not a simple concept.

What could potentially be fair is to say that too much effort and focus is on treatment and not enough on preventing it in the first place, but I can’t say if this is true, either.
