Would you rather have 100% Immunity to big diseases or small illnesses?

Big things. Small illnesses like colds are no big deal. The sniffles aren't going to harm you.

why is this even a question? it would be idiotic in the least to choose immunity to less dangerous conditions in face of life threatening ones

I can live with a coldso I vote Major illnesses.

Big ones, small ones are not about to kill me and are only an annoyance

Major illnesses. The little things like a cold are more annoying than life threatening... :?

LOL:lol:

Is this serious,

Immunity to the ones that can kill and handicap me

Which would you rather have 100% immunity to: Small things like the common cold or a cough OR immunity bigger things like cancer, aids, etc? I'd choose to be immune to smaller illnesses because I don't see the bigger ones as a threat.ZumaJones07

yeah i know its not like they can kill you or anythng... /sarcasm

I thought the same thing .You dont fear the cancer as much as you do catching a cold while having cancer and that cold in a day turns into nemonia (cant spell it) then you cant catch your breath or even breath and that causes your heart to stop and your dead before the cancer even had a chance.

I sidestep big diseases. :)ZumaJones07

cute, except you don't. there are tonnes of diseases in which the environment or the life you live bears little to no impact, like genetic diseases. no matter how healthy you are, there's always the chance you'll have an incurable disease that will cripple you or even kill you. not to mention the amount of people that get lung cancer, for example, that have never smoked a day in their life.

there's no logic in your reasoning

Immuneto big ones. With small colds and stuff you get an excuse to miss work/school

Definetely big diseases. Seriously, those can destroy your life.

The vast majority of cancers start off as a single cell. Would you rather get rid of it at that level or wait for it to become something major and then get rid of it?

Small. Unless you live in a plutonium house then cancer tends to start very small and a lot of the big ones have good vaccines against them already. Also this doesn't cover injuries so it's not like the major option lowers your chances of dying young by much.markop2003

Big ones, then I would run around (maybe naked;)) in Red Forest laughing at radiation

Big ones cause it's hard to die from the small ones.KiIIyou

For some reason this made me lol.

I think it means your also immune to most STDs too....

Just putting that out there.

Immunity from life threatening diseases. A cold or a sore throat (as painful as that can be...) can be dealt with in due time.

Big, obviously. Lifetime risk of dying from cancer alone is about 1 in 4.kamikaze_pigmy

Voted small diseases. Chances of getting cancer? 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%

chances of getting a nasty cold? 42%

Yeah, I'll take my odds.

But then agian this poll could be a trick question. If I'm 100% immune to cancer, does that mean I can smoke 30 cigars everyday????

Hmm let's see small curable diseases or big incurable, life threatening diseases.

Man this is tough....

Just because I cannot let medical ignorance go without justice, here are the chances of developing cancer.

Males 44% Females 37%

The chances of dying from cancer are of course lower, but who would rather live with cancer than the occasional bronchitis, athlete's foot, etc.

That's not even taking into account, CANCER ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT WILL KILL YOU!

Cancer isn't even the leading cause of death worldwide, cardiovascular disease is. More people die from cardiovascular disease than cancer!

This isn't even taking into account AIDS, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, lung diseases, etc etc.

The smaller illnesses are things you can get over at least. Big ones can be permanent and life ending. So common sense tells me to choose the big diseases....tocool340

Indeed. In my above post, i just didn't wanna get moderated... anyone choosing the small ones must not have common sense. (hoping not to get modded)sethman410

I've had cancer and it's not so bad, I feel almost invincible now - not to say same thing can't happen to me again. It's just that I've had many colds in my life, and I'm getting really tired of it, nothing ruins my day/week more than a cold, so I would choose that.

If a big disease were to kill me then I'd have no problems with that, I'd hopefully have lived long enough and enjoyed some years coldless.

I believe osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease qualify as large illnesses.

The reason you would be a liability is because of those large illnesses. People can age just fine without these hampering illnesses and do not require assistance, especially on their entire family.

You would rather die younger, than running the chance of living in a retirement home? Even though some people are in their 90s and still living on their own..

Cant tell if you're kidding or not. But if you have a sibling, chances are one of you will develop cancer at some point in your lives. You don't think that's a significantly high rate?

P.S. A day of living in L.A. is the equivolent of smoking 14 cigarettes to the damage it does to your lungs/body, just by breathing the air, according to my professor. So living in any populated area will probably increase your risks for cancer and other diseases.

So if I'm reading this correctly, it's stating that the chance of me developing ANY type of cancer is 44% (1 in 2 for men)? And the other stuff below that is for individual cases? Those numbers don't look to bad to me lol.The worst one seems to be 1 in 6 for prostate cancer with a 2.79% chance of dying from it. I'm not worried about all that. :)ZumaJones07

-___-

So you have almost a 50% chance of acquiring the SECOND leading cause of death, and that's okay..

How often do you get these small illnesses? A week long cold every once in a while is really good enough reason to take a chance of ending your life several years early?
