    They may have made the first step towards curing cancer. Instead of blasting cancer cells, their solution relies on re-programming them to return to being normal cells. The key is to find the right switch.

    would be transformational if this can be executed on a wide scale.

    This research begs this question: do we want people to live, if not forever, then dramatically longer? Obviously, each of is who contracts cancer will answer in the affirmative, but the repercussions are profound.

    digital twin models + AI + quantum computing = me happy to have lived in an analog life and will peacefully go out off the grid of the dystopian future.

    I would think it’s up to the person. Why wouldn’t WE( as you put it )want people to live longer ?

    Yes, it's up to each person, and we know what the vast majority of us would chose. The WE means society considering the profound consequences of that choice.

    Cure to cancer will almost never to be released because it would be too much financial loss for the medical and pharmaceutical community. It's not a conspiracy theory if it's true.

    This is why I support RFK Jr and similarly minded folks.
