I am not very familiar myself with medical science or biology, but I would love to discuss with you brilliant people this epidemic and extreme tragedy inflicted apon our society. I have said many times before that society is wrong in many more political, philosophical or economic respects, but I believe that our desire to pursue medicine is the best aspect of our culture, even if it is polluted with economics, greed, political stupidity, and human ability to possess a lack of compassion, and cancer is definitely currently the worst epidemic of our society. AIDS is indeed horrible as well, but it can be prevented with abstenence. Also, I could not be a doctor because of my lack of ability to see and deal with the all too palpable aspects of medical science and it's application, but in this arena of study and of medical analysis and biological synthesis, many things, I believe, can be achieved, even if we are not the ones truly applything the thesis physically. I know this is something mainly only pursued by those of extreme medical competence, but I believe we, especially you in your brilliances, can do this with at least some hope of success. I look very forward to your comments and their continuation. :)

For my personal thesis, I believe that cancer is a living organism just as we are, and is essentially parasitic. It can be removed, even if indeed it is too spread out it kills it's host, it can still be removed. I am yes curious of our observations of this organism once it is removed from it's host, information I currently do not possess. I think, in light of it's being alive, that it can be killed just as we can. With parasites, they essentially die when their hosts perish, but indeed they can persist if another host is found in enough time. Possibly, if a virus can be inserted into the parasite cancer as it's self a parasite to the cancer, the cancer can be essentially eaten alive from within, and hopefully in enough time for it to not devour our own innerds. Besides the divisions of cancer to which are caused by a stimulus, such as tobacco-caused cancer, the type of cancer that derives precisely of it's own accord one must derive because of something, two must have a weakness, and three must have a part in nature to which currently it seems to not possess; nature does not have worthless facets, it is like a machine. I hope this thesis can act as a catalyst to the extent of this conversation, introducing your own comments and individual thesis. :)
