1. Newblog2011: 09/15/11 Legitimate Cancer Research vs. Stand Up To Cancer
I’m not against legitimate cancer research. I think that Stand Up To Cancer is a dangerous organization because it experiments on people. I’ve written about that previously; my fear is that not only will experiments on people be covered by insurance, but that very quickly, being part of clinical trials instead of getting treatments that have been proven to work will become the ONLY treatment option available to anyone who doesn’t have the money to get the most expensive kind of health insurance.
People do things such as sell their houses and relocate their entire lives in order to be or be near people who then participate in those clinical trials. Clinical trials are supposed to be a stage of research, a step along the way of saying “Yes, this treatment works.” Maybe the people who have been treating me as if I’m against legitimate cancer research don’t realize what clinical trials are. There’s no guarantee that the treatment given in those trials works; there’s also no guarantee, to say the least, that the people who participate in those trials won’t end up with more problems than they had before, as a result of having been experimented on.
Also; one of the reasons that the pharmaceutical industry and other medical establishments have wanted Stand Up To Cancer to continue is that correctly conducted cancer research takes years, is expensive to do, and doesn’t turn a profit the way that all of the drugs that the pharmaceutical industry churns out that people don’t need turn a profit. That’s the lure of SU2C for the people who want to make money in that industry, and for people who want to get funding for their research; not only does the public make corporeal donations in the form of the living bodies of people who sign up to get experimented on, the public and other private foundations and organizations GIVE MONEY to that organization. That means that the pharmaceutical industry and everyone else who’s involved with SU2C don’t have to turn any of their profits back into things that are time-consuming and unprofitable, such as legitimately conducted cancer research.
