It could provide a cure for some tumors. I didn't say it was necessarily a silver bullet. Just because others have failed doesn't mean you can generalize that everybody will always fail. JMHO.

Charles, I don't know if you followed the biotech industry in the early 90s. There were literally more than 1000 biotech startups, many came public during that time, most claimed to be working on a cure for cancer. A few years later, 9 out of 10 closed doors after money ran out and shareholders were left holding some expensive wallpapers. No cure for cancer of course, just a pipe dream. It's innocent when someone writes fiction and represents it as such. Cite John Grisham. It's pretty dangerous when someone writes fiction and represents it as fact. It's downright scary when someone writes fiction and believes it. The quality behind the "short" arguments in this thread approaches that of the "long" arguments. Very little versus none.
