Companies like Eli Lilly, Merck, GSK, Bristol-Meyers Squibb cause and perpetuate massive amounts of human suffering. I view them on the same level as Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Input?

"Cancer" is actually an umbrella term for a type of disease and there are over 200 kinds of cancer that require different approaches to treatment. We cannot have a "cure for cancer" anymore than a "cure for virus."

I mean eventually gene therapy will be able to target any form of cancer, so long as it can be delivered to the affected cells. Pharmacogenomics is the future of medicine, sadly only the privileged will be able to access it.
