| Life causes cancer! OMG! |
 |
I just read an article:
quote:
Professors and students working together at Harvard University have reached a startling conclusion: living is the root of all cancer.
The surprising revelation comes after a simple thought experiment, says Vijay Ahminpak, a senior medical student at the Ivy League university. "Only living things get cancer, dead things don't."
This latest breakthrough in cancer research is sending shockwaves around the globe. Some theologians and philosophers are asserting that death is indeed the only way to go...
What do we do??? |

cancer's just nature's way to curb population growth. used to be plagues. it's always going to be something that kills us. |

Actually, most populations are limited by available external resources. Very few species have internal population limiting aspects.
If you introduce a pack of wolves into a land rich with sheep - you will have more wolves soon!
When the sheep are gone, so too will the wolves be gone.
Bacteria, wolves, dolphins and humans are all quite the same in that regard.
There is, however, a species of ants which has a natural enemy, a fungus, which will spread from colony to colony until the ant colonies are far enough apart as to not be a threat to the environment. Still, this is an external force limiting their growth. |
