Do you feel better now ?
So which do you work for?, Nasa, or the "medical" industry ?

People are still dying of cancer everyday,....no one has a better prognosis 
than they did years ago, and far more people are being diagnosed with 
cancer, than ever before.
It just costs more to keep them alive, for a bit longer. But they still die, 
and the reaserch money machine, keeps pumping out more money
So your strawman arguments have no fact, to back them up at all.


Have a nice day,...shill
Now go eat some of that yummy GMO franken-food.
