      Cancer is a DNA mutation. Those mutations can be hereditary, random chance, or environmentally caused.

        The mutations can be from that list, but mostly in our current world it’s exposure to toxins.

        Another toxin is media paving over real causes and making the story monetise curing.

      As a society we are choosing to have industry that creates cancers. If we chose to stop doing that, maybe instead we could spend our time appreciating the beauty of each beetle.
