How do we actually cure cancer?

put everyone with cancer in an oven

Take a saple of cancers' DNA
Upload this shit into CRISPR
Wait
Profit

Like with alcohol being injected into tumors to dehydrate them, you could potentially try to somehow starve them of nutrients. Better yet, you could try to make the human body kill cancer cells to disallow cancers getting worse.

Most of the ways that cells become cancerous are through loss of the normal checks on division and growth. Hard to prevent that while still having a living cell. You could try adding functional redundancy by sticking extra copies of ras or p53 in or something, but you're talking critical master regulators there, I'd be very wary.

Did you even read the thread? I know how CRISPR works. I've used it myself. I'm currently writing a paper about some mutants I made using CRISPR.

CRISPR is a tool, not a magic wand. You can't just throw a plasmid at the body and cross your fingers. It only works in cells that have the gene/protein, depending on method of delivery. If you don't hit stem cell niches, you only have mosaics. Targeting individual cell types is quite difficult and is an ongoing area of research.

Look closely.
Note how the ivy wraps around the tree.
Look closely at a coil of vine.
What do you notice?
If you notice what I notice you will see the coil itself embeds itself into the tree. Cutting the stem makes a difference but the ivy is still getting nutrients.

It becomes a parasite. It is made of the same stuff. Plant matter, simple, slow cells and yet it is attacking itself. A war in slow motion. Cancer is similar.

Now imagine this ivy growing INSIDE the tree. Side by side with the trunk.

Now try and cure it.

It is a medical commonplace that the tissues of the human body replace themselves regularly, essentially creating an entirely new body every seven years. From whence then come cancer and the slow degeneration of age? They exist as faults in the patterns of intelligence within the genes themselves; by reprogramming these smallest parts, the whole becomes well.

>The best course for R&D should be judged objectively not based on bullshit superstitions.
We just stated the same thing. You just have a different idea of what it all means and how things work, that happens to not map to reality. We are not a benevolent and homogeneous species fighting against the flaws of our own nature as best we can, trying every angle, objectively and intelligently weighing all things without bias and without prejudice.

We just aren't. It feels better to look at the world through that lens, but it's nonetheless an incredibly distorted one.
