The really ludicrous part of this whole argument is that science "is" on the verge of being able to really cure cancer with genetically tailored drugs that attack ONLY the cells of the specific cancer in that specific person.

In general, the treatment involves harvesting cells from the tumor, doing a PCR analysis of healthy cells and cancer cells from the individual to isolate those sites on the cellular DNA that occur ONLY in cancer cells.

Tailor a molecule that will bond ONLY to the cancer DNA sites on one end of the molecule. Bond a cancer killer molecule or complex to the other end. Whip up a batch, and inject it.

The tailored molecule permeates throughout the body, but accumulates ONLY on cancer sites (so this also works for metastatic cancer). The actual mechanism that kills the cancer cells may be chemical, radioactive, or "externally triggered" with microwave energy (the best route needs more research).

We have a compound about to go into Phase 1 that may handle from the RNA level activity. More info soon....seems to only kill
Cancer cells and leaves healthy cells alone. Freepmail if you are interested in more info
