An international team of scientists believes it has found cancer's master switch with the discovery of a gene they dubbed "Pokemon."Awesome news, but when I read this line, my first thought was, predictably, 'these guys should get out more.' ;-)

This is actually sad, we have been fighting Cancer for how long? And we don't even really know what it is? Now thats tax dollars spent wisely...
To: Echo Talon
? I don't understand why you think this is sad. This is great. We're getting closer to finding a cure for cancer. Pretty damn exciting if you ask me....

What's sad is assuming that we can know something before we look for it.

It's good that they found the switch, now I just hope they can turn it off.
To: Echo Talon
If it makes you feel any better, we've been using electricity for ~100 years and we don't know exactly what it is, either.

Like the electronic game figures -- tiny monsters with bad tempers -- the cancer-triggering gene apparently instigates the misbehavior of other cancer-causing genes, leading to tumor formation.
LOL!! Sometimes truth is screwier than fiction.

I think I'll wait and see on this one, although it could be hopeful. But what works in the test tube doesn't always work in people. Let's hope.

According to your line of logic we should have spent $XX amount - then given up.
Oh, well - this is too hard.
Perhaps forward thinking is not a concept you are familiar with.
What a dumb thing to say.

? I don't understand why you think this is sad. This is great. We're getting closer to finding a cure for cancer. Pretty damn exciting if you ask me.... What I'm saying is, we should know everything about cancer cells by now, and just be working on drugs to stop it. All this time I was under the impression that we understood what Cancer was, how it spread and were just looking for a drug to stop it, as it turns out we didn't have the foggiest clue as to what we were fighting, First rule, Know your enemy... Just think of all the Cancer patients that have been used as guinea pigs... I wonder if they know the docs didn't know what the hell they were doing?

Will this make the American Cancer Society glad or sad?
