Sugar, I agree with many things you have said, but I call bullshit on this statement. Yes, pharma is a greedy lot of backstabbing mofos, but I sincerely doubt cancer will be "cured" in our lifetimes, or possibly forever. Cancer is the end-state of nuclear breakdown; as long as DNA is damageable, life will die of something, and that 'something' is cancer. (Assuming we gain the technology/understanding to fix everything else!)

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
