Which cure would rather have scientists come up with *PICK ONE*

I would rather have scientists come up with the cure for the common cold. I have a terrible head cold right now and winter is coming around and it's going to be worse.

I know they have mucinex, Robitisson, and ibuprofein, but those are for temporary relief.

It would be nice if I never have to have a pesky cold again and I get them so, so much.

And, I know it can happen to anyone, but I can't ever see myself getting cancer. I'm active and I don't smoke. I also don't have anybody too close to me that has passed away from cancer.

How about you?

That shouldn't even be a question. Cancer definitely.

Millions of people die from cancer. Compare that to the deaths from the common cold.

Enough said.

Keep in mind how bad and annoying colds can be sometimes. Maybe I'm being too much about myself right now.Sants412

Keep in mind how bad and annoying cancer can be. Holy crap are you seriously that selfish?

Just do both at the same time.. Seeing as everybody is born with cancer cells.. and everybody born gets a common cold once in a while it would be sweet if you got a little syringe in your ass as a baby eliminating the possibility of both..

Person B: Yeah? I have cancer. Im dying

What is your point of view than? You rather cure something that's annoying to you but totally harmless than to save the millions of people dying from cancer?

smh...

I'm just glad that they put the effort into curing erectile dysfunction for miceinstead of either of those.sca321

You poor baby, TC. Head cold's might be annoying, but cancer is fatal much of the time.

I dont know why, but i pick cold :|

But still, they'll get both cures, just it takes time.

cold.

disease is natures way of keeping the population low, just a part of the circle of life. dont get me wrong, two members of my family have cancer and i dont want them to die. i just see the world getting so overpopulated and the world becoming just overused, out of resources, and ending.

Morbid but valid.

Cancer....colds last a few days of some minor irritating symptoms. Cancer kills.LJS9502_basic

Colds kill immuno-comprimised people!

That shouldn't even be a question. Cancer definitely.

jim_shorts

Yeah, I mean seriously. A cold lasts for a day or two? It can only kill you if you have some crippling disease that's thrown your immune system, in which case you're in trouble anyway.

Cancer. My cousin-in-law has cancer and might die if he doesnt get kemo(i cant spell) and his wife is pregnant with their first baby..so I'll say cancer!Mrs_Sesshomaru

something will most likely happen to keep the pop. low, and probably some disease or something. :cry:

Yes a cold can suck but, 98% time, people live through a cold. Cancer, on the other hand, kills people 98% of the time :\munu9

Your percentages are way off. More than 2% of people live through cancer(but really, it depends on the type -- but I'm sure that if you combined all of 'em, a lot more than 2% of people survive it). Also, there is NO WAY 2 out of 100 people die from a common cold. If that was the case, people would be dying all over the place.

Anyway...back to the original topic. The obvious answer is cancer. I don't see anyone with cancer saying, "Well, this sucks, but at least I don't have a cold!"...or anyone with a cold wishing they'd have cancer instead.
