Bad news, the prognosis for stage 1 non small cell lung cancer is 3% survival after 5 years, assuming surgery and chemotherapy. slightly better for women. New drugs like Larissa and Angiogenesis Inhibitors are adding months to that but it's a bad condition and an earlier diagnosis may have had no effect. If I were a lawyer I could argue that.

Besides, Gould was a good rational atheist and evolutionary biologist. He should have accepted the end of his life as part of the natural biological process.

Is there any evidence that he, personally, did not?
