They're so close to curing T1 diabetes and I'm rooting for them. If I live to see the insulin/diabetes medical device manufacturers go bankrupt I may achieve nirvana

from what I remember they have already cured T1 and T2 in trials, they have patients with both that are off insulin after gene therapies

It would be so much fun watching western media try to spin curing cancer as an evil communist plot though.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

Whenever "The Commies" beat America to a medical breakthrough, it's indeed very fun to watch the Red Scare nonsense spewed by Western media.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago

I've noticed there's a lot of racism involved too; I recall the media's initial mockery and skepticism of Cuba when they revealed they'd had success with a lung cancer vaccine, or mockery of Iran in regards to their ability to reverse engineer drones, claiming no one there had the skills for it.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

Yeah. That side of it is just sad and frustrating, the Red Scare type nonsense is at least funny.

Eating burnt red meat while smoking reds with the filters ripped out to stick it to Beijing.

It'd be cool to be surprised by this, but I kinda think "curing" cancer is nearly a big a fantasy as AGI. What is there to cure? Cells being damaged? Treatment will continue to be refined, sure, but don't expect to ever see a panacea.

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

smart export controls that target the critical inputs for China's technological and military machine

You make a little robot and tell it to go in there and get that cancer

[-] huf@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

you make a submarine and put a dude in it and shrink the whole thing and inject it into the patient, like in that documentary i saw

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Well yeah if you're american workers lives are cheaper than robots

yeah "cancer" is a pattern of cellular behavior and the causes of it are myriad and depend on the type of cell that's fucking up.

there's almost certainly never going to be a generic cure or prevention for all cancers. maybe some scifi shit with human cloning and brain transplants but that's not fixing the cancer in the body that has it.

natsec is when you can't let anyone else do anything that benefits anyone because that means they have one over on you

What good goods does the US make that someone in China would want? A Ford F-350?

I've seen a yank tank in Wuhan, and I'm 80% sure it was for a photoshoot.

I'd rather see a million dead kids from cancer then even entertain the idea of CHYNER curing it.

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

Openly speaking like a Captain Planet villain.
