The USA is by far the world's leader in medical research funding, productivity and knowledge. Yet by ALL measures we are not doing enough. We NEED to "crack some heads together" and bring the best minds into a "room" and force them to come to some solutions (typical and atypical solutions).
Almost half the people alive today will have cancer in their lifetimes.
That's a damn epidemic. And what are we doing about it? If you went back and added up all the budgets for the National Cancer Institute over the past THREE DECADES, we spent as much money on cancer as we spend in Iraq in NINE MONTHS.
It's time for a bold initiative to combat this disease which kills 560,000 Americans every year.
What can we do to BETTER concentrate our financial and intellectual resources towards the cure for cancer?
Well, instead of focusing on a war on terror, we could focus on a war on cancer. If you're a scientist or doctor whose field relates to cancer in some way, or if you're aspiring to be such a person, then finding a cure for cancer should be your initiative. Not only will you help all the people afflicted with this illness, but you will also be very famous. So governments ought to devote more money by giving grants and encouraging people to grow up and research a cure.
When researching, you should be responsible and not selfish. Don't publish papers with false evidence or mislead the public just for the sake of your fame. You should sincerely be looking for a cure.
As for those people who aren't directly related to the scientific research of cancer, we can still try to help in whatever way possible. For instance, participate in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life (I'm a participant). Even if you can't actively do it, you can give money to people who come to your house for fundraising or through the American Cancer Society website (see Sources area). There are countless other organizations that try to raise funds and give grants to extraordinary cancer researchers. You should also just generally support this effort for a cure. I'm sure most of us have been affected by cancer in some way; we may have los a relative, friend, or neighbor to this dreadful thing.
Ultimately, what we ought to do is encourage a culture that incubates the effort to find a cure for cancer, and only then will we maximize our chances of achieving this demanding albeit rewarding goal.
