Potential cure for cancer, government funding cut, what a joke. It's down to ANON again to keep science going.

There can be no "cure for cancer", cancer is a wide term which covers many different diseases with different causes and cures. Also see image.

I don't think a handgun really would kill cancer in a petri dish. Sure, it would kill some of the ones directly in the path of the bullet, but individual cells are pretty durable.

>i don't think it would, except for the ones it would

science of the first order,

but if you really need convincing of the argument made, how about boiling water, or bleach?

What if you shoot bullets made of lava into a petri dish full of cancer made of ice?

[Anonymous No.5881735]

>>5881732
some of the ice melts, but not all of it so it's pointless

What if you punch the cancer with the fist of the north star?

What if bullets made of diamond (the hardest metal) are shot at cancer made of dragonforce?

What if you blast cancer with piss?

>government funding cut
why is it the governments responsibility to fund research?

Everyone pays tax, everyone benefits from the research.

[Anonymous No.5883077]

private industry does the research, more efficiently than gov (and thus cheaper), and also makes the benefits available at a competitive rate, either by capitalist competition or antitrust laws.

[Anonymous No.5883078]

>>5883077
assuming that the research is worth doing and not some sort of pork barrel spending
