As a cancer survivor, this is how I feel. Having the fear of it coming back is always in the back of my mind, and it sucks.
With everything good comes something bad... I hear: increased STD carrier per population... Population boom... a stronger strand or new STD... situation based on I Am Legend. Wait for outcome.
I was going to post this yesterday man "science isn't for pussies"(that would have been the thread tittle).
It is interesting that in just about 30 years *give or take a few* that we have reached this point in AIDS research. It is a good thing to know. and with all the other breakthroughs we have had recently- my fave being the use of pig blood cells to fight diabetes- i feel better about the future. all we gotta do now is whoop the Big C!
you two are right, AIDS is done with. time to move on to cancer, get to work you scientist f***wads. here we are born to be kings we're the rulers of the universe
This is good news. Cancer I assume would be a tougher nut to crack, seeing as how there's so many types. But I live in hope that I may see an end to it in my lifetime.
Finding a way to prevent or cure any disease is a good thing. Finding a cure for one is no more important than finding a cure for another. They all need to be prevented or cured.
Vaccines are preventative not a wonder cure they have to test it on people who don't have it and are in a high risk of getting it ie. if they have a lover with the disease etc. Ethics man, ethics.
Still can't do anything about dementia that comes with old age. Wait, I guess they can: Video games for the elderly: an answer to dementia or a marketing tool? | Technology | The Guardian
Ok, so we won't be aware that we're living forever, and the planet will rapidly clog up with people who don't know what day it is, but... ... crap.
