Even if a giant pharmaceutical company DID come up with a "magic bullet" cure for cancer, they would NEVER release it or even disclose it existed. Every country on earth would "nationalize" the patent and start manufacturing the stuff for free for their own citizens, thus savings trillions in health care costs.
