It's one thing. It's a mutation in the DNA that causes uncontrolled cell division. You unlock the key to that, you unlock everything. Anything else from these fucking science bros is just language games of classification.

EDIT: Apart from the thoughtful replies from TerminalEncounter and HiImThomasPynchon, the snark in the rest of the comments is through the roof. From the same people, btw, that will shout "ACAB right now," "guillotine capitalists right now!," "FALC right now," "gulag them all right now!" As though those are more realistic than what I'm envisioning. No wonder online/western leftists never get anything accomplished. Ironically, you're the behaving exactly like kind of people that would have made snarky comments in the past like "lol aboslish slavery, yeah I wish we could do that!" or "give women the right to vote, yeah if only it were that easy!" It's a weird kind of regressive reactionary thinking (except of course for things they personally want to get done, then it's "we can do it right now"). It's weird, with homelessness, the solution is "simply give them housing" but with this it's "it's more complicated honey..." Fucking pathetic...

        People have already told you how and why you are wrong. There is no one "cancer" and it's dumb shit to state otherwise. Literally harmful idiocy that plays into reactionary anti intellectual beliefs on medicine

          Cool I'll take that into consideration. My mind has been totally changed. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. I can send you some cookies or flowers if you like. How's that sound?

            I just had to have this conversation yesterday with my dad because my mom has cancer and they feel like there's "a new story every time they go," no, it's not "a new story," there are literally a million different cancers and it takes time and diagnostic information to distinguish them

            But sure go off professor high school, it'll be great when my parents hear some bullshit like that and decide they agree with it and stop trusting their fucking doctors
