<< The last couple of days a lot of news shows I watched, had the lead in
that there has been a major break through with a cure for cancer and so
on... all leading me to believe that maybe something fantastic has
happened and miracles of miracles maybe some people will be cured
instead of dying, I can't begin to explain the excitement and hope I
felt when I heard this news story lead in, to say the least I was deeply
disappointed to find this hasn't even been tried on humans, and I
couldn't help but think they have jumped the gun a bit. I felt it was a
bit irresponsible for journalist to phrase it the way they did, I can
only imagine how many others felt like I did when they heard the whole
story. My problem is how this was toted on the news in their 7 second
clips of a "cure for cancer, story at 11." >>
That the news media was at fault I'd entirely agree. I just don't agree that
the researchers have perpetrated any sort of hoax. They couldn't have kept
their success with mice quiet if they'd wanted to -- such steps forward have
to be published in order to guide others working in the field. I very much
doubt we'll see the words "cure for cancer" in any refereed journal reporting
this phenomenon.
