Question: thank you for awndering my question-isn't cancer just another way of keeping the population down so in a way is essential

@romanticfirechild, my pleasure. It’s a big philosophical question that you ask. We are an expanding population and if we find a cure for all illnesses then there will no longer be space for all of us on the planet. I think that nature always has a way of restoring the balance and so not matter what we humans get up to, or how clever we think we are, we will never be able to solve everything and sometimes stuff just happens…
