Like, we’ll probably find out that eating boogers actually makes you immune to select illnesses or something crazy like that.

    I’ve got a couple that roll around in my head, radiation therapy will be seen as barbaric at some point. Assuming we don’t burn ourselves off this earth in the next few years I think we’ll see some progress on this. Moderna is known for their COVID shot, however they have basically eliminated melanoma with a tailored injection. Last I looked at it, it was in it’s mid stage or something and was almost 100% effective.

      We already know it’s barbaric. It’s a last resort. It kills you and the cancer, only the cancer gets the worst of it. It’s a terrible solution to the problem, only a step better than death.

      Honestly most cancer therapy is like that. Chemo and radio are basically working on the fact that your body is more resilient than cancer cells so they will likely die before you do. They are not pleasant things to go through. Surgery is your best option if it’s available and that involves chopping out chunks of yourself.
