Decoding Cancer

Read Here

For a long time doctors have always known that cancer destroys and changes cells. It's not until now though that they have realized what exactly they do to them. Research has shown that it damages the cells by taking away their ability to form and takes away their "building blocks" as they put it. They are hoping to (with this new information) that they will be able to go in and replace these lost "building blocks" stopping the cancer from being able to destroy the cells.

Out of all the current events I've done, none excite me as much as this one. This could be the CURE for cancer here! If we're able to do this, and I hope that they keep researching it could mean being able to stop cancer before it destroys their lives. It's a far shot, but if we can grow human organs in pigs, then why not be able to do this. Cancer is a horrible and painful thing, being able to stop people from having to experience this would be a wonderful thing. I personally don't know anyone with cancer, but some of my friends do, I think this is far more important then trying to genetically engineered babies for the rich. This could actually save already existing lives! And many more to come.
