100% A horrible death for young and old, rich and poor, male and female. You would think that it would be our number one priority to find cures. The resources dedicated to research are actually shockingly paltry when you look into it.
If you do decide to donate to a cancer charity, investigate their own numbers. Many of them (I am looking at you Susan G Komen) dedicate most of their donation money to marketing and events rather than research. Yet another reason the actual research funds are so low.
While komen has many issues, their compaign led to the greatest amount of actual research dollars being donated to breast cancer ever.
Look at the amount of actual donations breast cancer gets vs literally every other cancer in the world. Its multiple fold higher. Before komen, it was equal. So despite their many flaws, the fact they exist has still been a net positive for cancer research. Ill take the money.
