Cancer Treatment
The future of cancer seems to be heading towards more treatable, 99% survival rates. A new treatment, used for the past two years in mice, has had a 100% survival rate. It does a one two punch, where one nano cell disables the cancer cell and a second targets and kills the cancer cell with chemotherapy. It will focus chemotherapy, unlike today where it attacks both kinds of good and bad cells. In the next few months human trials are going to begin, and it will be interesting to see how this moves forward.

It is good that we are treating cancer, but think of all the side effects these treatments we have on the Mice.
Chirp chirp
I"m sure the mice would volunteer if given the option to just as humans volunteer for the beta treatment with the new cures. (Granted, the Mice probably didn't volunteer to be given cancer to start with.... but thats a completely different topic.)
Think if this happened to Flamingos.
No. Just no. It ends here.
