That is such a cop out line. Until science can manipulate DNA and find out what exactly causes cancer there will be no cure. Look at smoking for example or tobacco in general. Some people can smoke their whole lives (George Burns, Milton Berle, to name 2) and never get cancer, then you get people like Andy Kaufman who never smoked and he dies of lung cancer typically found in smokers.
People are also living longer now than in all of history, giving much more time for all the mutagens to add up and cause damage. When you had a life expectancy of 35 years its kinda hard to allow for cancers that strike older people. And cancer being more prevalent now is both speculative and statistical..
REcords of cancer deaths havent been really kept until the past few decades and even with the older ones, who knows how many are unreported. and statistically, there is a much larger population now than even 30 years ago.. more people, more chances someone has cancer
It is not a copout, this society is build upon the premise of MONEY. Why find a cure when treatment is far mor profitable than curing something. I might be called a crazed lunatic, but I honestly believe a cure for cancer was found years ago, BUT, that cure is buried under ground about a mile with heavily armed guards at the entrance with a time delay switych connected to explosives that is set to blow if anyone ever got close to it. Anyone ever wonder how big MERCK really is, how bout PHIZER? You are talking about more money than some can even imagine. You think they are going to let loose of that money and profit? No way.
