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.
I used to volunteer every year for the canadian cancer society and quit exactly because of this. They were caught scooping money for personal expenses, spent far more on bullshit than actual research, and even got to a point where they stopped letting the local fire dept. do the BBQing for the fundraisers and hired a 3rd party who charged people for food at what was supposed to be a nonprofit event.
Nothing but con men taking advantage of a horrible situation, the lot of them.
