Has the cure for cancer been found?

http://media.www.studentprintz.com/media/storage/paper974/news/2007/01/23/Opinion/Scientists.Cure.Cancer.But.No.One.Takes.Notice-2667600.shtml This article is a bit old, like 2 years or so; and I have not followed up on it to see how it progressed. However, it is stuff like this that makes me wonder: can a cure be found? Has it been found? And if it has been found, will the government and medicinal companies want to put it out into the public. It is pretty obvious to me from this article that the media kind of scoots around the cure for cancer. You will hear things like "hopefully a cure for cancer will be found someday", but what will happen when that day comes? How much testing do you think really occurs in relation to cancer (and AIDS, for that matter)? Cancer has lately been something that bothers me. It is a beautiful image of suffering and death, yet in the same respect the beauty kind of wears down all of those who have to watch a person suffering. In my short life time I have seen quite a few people go from this disease, and even just a few months ago practically stood in the room with my aunt passing from it. It is intense and opens up so many emotions and feelings. Maybe it is strange, but I do not personally desire a cure for cancer (despite what it may seem and despite the experiences). This is mostly because cancer changes everyone involved with it, whether the family and spectators or the ones who sorrowfully have to experience it. I think to take away the true "good" side of humanity by completely destroying a natural disease is wrong, but that is just me. Perhaps I just don't like living in an "ideal" world where everything is curable. Discuss!
