because no one has cured cancer yet. when they cure cancer it will be headline news.

These scientists are dealing with tiny cancer cells in petri dishes. They havn't cured anyone of cancer. We're talking about small rodents in labratory settings. It's a LONG way away from HUman Beings.


We also read about how they can make mice smarter, BRAIN PILLS WORK IN MICE!!! but we don't see anyone taking smart pills yet, do we?

As helpful as laboratory mice are to research, there's a HUGE leap between laboratory mice in a research setting and actual Human beings in the real world.
