satella follow the white rabbit for the answer to the matrix question.

the test I made? is for both. the problem with blood serum cancer markers for screening purposes is that they show up in both cases in most cases. that's why biopsy along with cat scans and so forth are the only way to confirm cancer location. my marker shows up in germ cell cancer before metastasis and/or if cancer has metastasized to your liver.

shoving aside my perspective of a diety being a projection of the human desire for knowledge, having the answer for such things requires a very broad and deep knowlege of the universe we live in (and, who knows, beyond).
I accept you are a creative person and eager to learn, but such things are hard to prove and if you are not disciplined about your thoughts its easy to jump to conclusions. and those get us nowhere.

i hope you keep working on it though. =3


again well said. you sound like a well educated individual. my definition and reasoning is something I hold on to alone not something that is held onto by the whole scientific community though there is a quantum description of life that differs from the biological approach. that definition was presented by GMD and cuddowls.

it would be nice to have that much knowledge of the universe but that much knowledge will not be obtained in my life that is for sure.

indeed jumping to conclusions can often times lead you astray.

It never gets old.

Fun fact: I made a reference to that exact comic when I found out Mowen was a girl.

One does not simply cure cancer. "Cure cancer" is about as vague as "read book". There are many different types of cancer that all require individualized treatment regimes and have multitudes of underlying causes.

Sorry if I take this one.

A "cure" will probably never come out if the system keeps going like it is, and if it does it would be from some private organization. The way medicine works now is that they view a patient cured as a customer lost. You want to "cure" them enough to keep them alive, but not enough to make them stop paying for the cure. I don't mean to sound like a communist, but that's what happens in a capitalist economy. Every advance is made by supply and demand. Cures aren't profitable to companies.

Thank you Miss Maw, CasterMaster and Arcana3 for the sweet sigs. I'd definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a nice sig.

No offense, but this post demonstrates that you have no ****ing clue how the pharmaceutical industry works.
