I hate to be the one who brings people down to Earth (Actually, I love to do that.((LOL, bring down to Earth. We're on the Moon, geddit?)) ) but you can't "cure" cancer. You can KILL it, or REMOVE it, but ya can't CURE it. Cures are usually a kind of medicine, by definition, and as far as I know, you can't inject someone with a little clear fluid and make them all better. XP Maybe you can't cure cancer but you can cure somebody of cancer. Cure is defined as an end of a medical condition or to relieve somebody of symptoms of a disease or condition. OWNED MIKE!!! Do some more research before saying stuff like that, you'll just embarrass yourself... Killing the cancer is a form of curing someone of the ailment. Also known as CURING CANCER.

It's really just arguing semantics - you're right in that people who've been cancer-free for five years without treatment are considered "cured" Thing is - it's not a cure because your body does nothing to help get rid of the cancer. Cancer is also, technically not a disease - it's a naturally occurring mutation. The actual argument (that I gave) was that the world will never be cancer free - but it ended up devolving to Gameboob arguing that there'll be a Cancer-vaccine, and Ryan and I continuously arguing that cancer doesn't work that way. Also, Xanast - that's basically what both Ryan and I said to gameboob

I think that it should be legal, because it can save so many lives...
It would do a lot of good for the world.
