Why would the lab have been built with a switch that makes someone working there die from cancer? That’s awful.

Do we have a KenM community yet
We could
We should
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I also vote that @heeplr@feddit.de get things rolling
GOOD point
Same guys who built the Cube from Cube
It’s people like you that are the reason why we should all switch to Lojban as the primary language on the internet

I feel like I’ve been reading stories about scientists finding cancer “kill switches” for decades.
You have. Killing cancer cells is easy. It’s keeping the rest of the patient alive that’s the hard part.
vaporizes patient
you guise, I found a cure for all cancers
“But uh… where’s the patient?” “What patient?”
So if I’m understanding this correctly
Some cancer treatments work great, but they can’t breach the outer barriers of tumor clumps. As such, they’re only approved for things like blood cancer.
This new treatment acts like a breacher charge, binding to one of the tumour’s outer barrier cells and triggering cell death, thus creating an access point.
So this new treatment could allow us to use those other treatments for additional cancer types since now they can get into the tumor clumps?
Pretty cool!
It’s cool that this could be a thing and has been demonstrated to work in vitro, but a lot of these drugs die off because they simply aren’t effective (or safe to use) in vivo, so I’ll hold my judgement until we see it working in live subjects.

As much as I believe big pharma are unscrupulous bastards, cancer kills people. They want us nice and alive with chronic conditions that need management.
Also if they actually cure cancer, they will use that as leverage to be cunts till the end of time.
Is that the one, the T-cells are using?
