“Everyone’s cancer is its own unique genetic disease. There is no one true single disease called “lung cancer”, just as there is no one single true human genome. Everyone is genetically unique (yes even identical twins), and every cancer is unique.”

#9 That explains why my mom is such a big d@#k all the time.
#13 Then ostensibly, any 'cure' for cancer can only be engineered through the bio-synthesizing of a particular persons DNA. Thus, no cure for all...but one luck bastard.

Mckenna,
#13 Well, sort of, but gene splicing is real, happens daily in our bodies (genetics are crazy) so if they can extract the gene and splice it into somone without it, the person can fight off cancer. It would be know as a cancer vaccine... oh wait we already are doing that...

#13 I love that when you dig deep enough into genetics you discover that your genetics are constantly changing as you age and whatever you are when you reproduce changes your offspring... so if you have a kid before and after an extreme life event (trauma, injury, hormones) those NEW changes get passed on.

#8 Looks like I might have lucked out for once. Based on my diet I should totally have diabetes and my MD is always surprised.

#6 In my lifetime there has been a bottleneck as well, with cheetas nearly extinct in the wild. No reason to bring up 10,000 years ago.
