    Assuming a young adult develops, idk breast cancer or something. Your sister or your daughter or you maybe. Should we treat it?
    If we don’t they’ll die.
    But careful, it will cost a hundred rats and a few rabbits their lives.

      I will just answer that question even though it doesn’t make sense because we are in this shit together…

      We wouldn’t have to treat cancer if we haven’t been so stupid in the past… Back to the roots with less plutonium, uranium, 4G, 5G, wifi 4,5,6, processed food, poluted water… You name it !

      Maybe it’s time to find a solution for the root cause and not a solution for the symptoms…

      That’s the difference !

        Reducing carcinogens would reduce the cancer rate a bit. Banning smoking completely would probably be the best first step. But most of the items on your list are either already heavily regulated (radioactive elements, food and water) or don’t actually have any impact on cancer rates (the list of radio spectrum parts)

        Also you’re lying to yourself if you truly think that getting rid of modern advances all together would eliminate cancer. Cells sometimes mutate when dividing and in a fraction of those cases it leads to cancer. That’s life. There will always be a chance of that.
