    Would you tell the world and get noted for it and maybe win a few awards but nothing more...


    Or be bought out by the drug companies for millions of dollars not to tell?

    I would arrange to make it free by way of voluntary donations. I gather once the cure was certified there would be millions pouring in to get it distributed around the world. Any surplus funds would be moved to providing necessities for the poor in under developed countries.

    I'm sorry when it comes to cancer, I would never sell it to the companies, I would get it out there to help people... It is sad that people would just sell out like that...

    Who ever trys to make money out of it is one sad person, everyone has a 50% - 75% chance of getting the big killer.

    I wish there was a cure for cancer as a few people close to me have it or have had it.

    I can not see a cure for cancer coming any time soon , i wish there was but we can all live in hope.

    I honestly believe there is a cure for cancer already but the drug companies are hiding it for profit, Cancer really isn't that complicated of a disease. You can even remove it sometimes and it will never come back. You could probably kill it off with eating a bunch of oranges or something. If you honestly believe that we came this far in medicine that we can build robotic arms that can actually connect to nerves and replicate a real arm or even getting to a point where nano/DNA technology can be inserted into our bodies that can make us 200x more stronger than we normally are and we can't cure cancer is just a lie.

    I would give it away and have it save those millions of cancer patients who have been suffering. Drug companies are already hugely profitable and God knows how much they charge if you sell the cure to them.

    Also the recognition you get and most likely the Nobel Price is a lot of money in the first place. Good deeds begets good rewards, you will not end up with nothing for sure!

    I'd do the same exact thing. I'd gather donations to be able to distribute it for free :)

    Geez, what a shock, you think it is a conspiracy.



    Psst, I think they hid that cancer cure in the trunk of the car that runs on water.

    I very much doubt that the pharmaceutical companies have a "working cure" atm, because it would be impossible to keep it secret, a lot of people have cancer, and the chance of knowing people that have/had cancer or worse :( is probably 100% and I'm certain the people behind it aren't going to keep it a secret.

    Just as with the vaccine for the flu type A (protection vs a lot of flues, including avian, for several years, that now is in clinical phase aka human testing, 90% protection), which is being developed publicly (University of Gent, Belgium), I think it will definitely require teaming.

    But as a matter of fact I don't believe in "the cure for cancer", since it's just not all the same with all the different types of cancer.

    I'd give it to the public. I know I'll earn way more in respect and donations then the drug companies can ever give.

    Just a question. So what if you know the cure for cancer. When you go tell the government they are going to open a public bidding and in the end the drug companies will make $$$ anyways.
