Scientists cure cancer but no one cares?

"I can't blame the industry for not following up on this: a clinical trial costs millions of dollars, and even if DCA pans out, there is no profit at all to be gained from it. For this research, we have to turn to public support (they have an interest in better cancer treatments!) and to scientists and doctors themselves, who of course have a great personal interest in seeing their patients get better."

I dislike the above paragraph. The profit will be scientific knowledge, and if a cure is found the savings will be invaluable.
Maybe the cure will not be found as a direct result, but it might trigger some other useful applications.

If a fraction of the money used in wars is used to fund research for curing diseases like cancer, we will be living in a better world.

Is very sad how the world works.

I still think that we can do better than this.
