Billions of dollars vs. A cure for cancer [POLL]

Which one would you rather have? Billions of dollars or finding the cure for cancer and being credited for it?

As for me, cure for cancer easily because even if I had billions of dollars, I'd still be forgotten in the annals of history.

NOTE:

We're going to assume that you can't sell the cure for cancer and it will become public knowledge and spread throguhout the world, although you will take sole credit for the work. You won't be poor afterwards but you won't be rich either.

Also you can't fund the billions of dollars towards cancer research.

Cure for cancer then I'd say I invented it then I'd make billions. :)

Billions of dollars so I could that money to find a cure and make more billions.

I'll go with cure for cancer, then come up with an unrelated get rich quick scheme.

Cure for cancer. It's not even about being credited or remembered for it, but the fact that it could actually save millions of people is worth more than any monetary value.

I guess credit is a moot point since if you did discover it, whatever your motivations, credit is due nonetheless even if you did not want it.

Think about this, you create a cure for cancer then there's a cure for ****ing cancer! Billions of dollars and then there's no cure for cancer. Only guilt. I'd make the cure without credit even.

Billions of Dollars. I would donate some to charitys and stuff like that.

If the cancer cure was universal (cures all cancers: lung, skin, prostate, liver, etc.), then I'd take that. If it was just finding the cure for one type of cancer, then I'd take the $$$

Billions of cancer .TaoJeetKuneDo

That's the way... 8)

At the very least for the sake of avoiding an ironic death, a cure for cancer.

Billions of dollars, cancer is only a major killer in the western world and it tends to effect older people more than the young. With billions of dollars i could cure starvation and reduce malaria rates which shorten lives more. markop2003

If you developed the cure for cancer, realistically you would become very rich. You would get numerous prizes and awards such as the Nobel Medicine Prize and you would be the subject of many books, movies, documentaries, TV shows, interviews, etc. Maybe you wouldnt get billions but definitely millions.

I would take the billions and then some good stuff with it. And enjoy life

I would take the Billion Dollars because after the Government find out you cured Cancer, they will have you killed because they make too much money from Cancer medicine.

Having lost four close relatives to various cancers I'd have to pick..........the money. Everyone has to die at some point, the money would make my life a lot more enjoyable (as well as be able to take care of my own medical needs) and I don't care about being remembered after I'm gone.

Cure cancer, sell it for billions of dollars.

Billions of dollars

Watch the sick people die from golden porch

Cure for cancer duh. If I got the however billion bucks it was, and then got cancer right afterwords I'd feel like an ass.

100% cure for cancer, considering it killed my mom.

And chances are if I was smart enough to find a cure (and especially if I was given credit for it), I'd manage to find a well-paying job anyway. I wouldn't need nor want billions.

Cure for cancer. Have eternal glory, be the single biggest celebrity on the planet. Don't need money for things because it would just be given to me.Z0MBIES

There is a cure, its called hemp oil, Look up the Rick Simpson Story.

Cure for cancer. Do you realize how incredible it would be? That'd be like being the first man on the moon, except curing cancer is way harder.

If I do I do. As I said, we all must die at some point. I'm fully aware of my mortality, and fully accept that chances are I'll die of cancer if something else doesn't get me first.

yes im deviant like that
