My roomate and I were just discussing an interesting idea. With the cure for diabetes right around the corner, could this be the begining of the end? Could this cause a real life 'I am Legend'? I need to start preparing incase this scenerio becomes a reality.

A Nigerian scientist found a possible cure. Sources are sketchy.

It will never happen. The health care industry will lose too much money.

Basically minorities take over the world, since they become immune to disease and overthrow whitey. It's sort of like planet of the apes, but with minorities.....being majorities. |

I'll try link hunting later, but there have been major developments in potential cancer cures that have gone largely ignored. I know this link isn't super substantial, but it sort of works: http://www.studentprintz.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticlePrinterFriendly&uStory_id=c7794f20-dfb1-4494-892d-b529895da103 - http://www.studentprintz.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticlePrinterFriendly&uStory_id=c7794f20-dfb1-4494-892d-b529895da103 |

Diabetes is what...the 6th leading cause of death in the US? I HIGHLY doubt that if a "cure" is found, it will be disregarded and kept a secret. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

It's going to take some awfully specific evidence for me to believe this.

No, scientists don't, but those with more interest in treatment than cures do, and they're the ones who can provide the most funding. |

That makes no sense.
The company that owned the rights to an actual cancer panacea would be the richest company of all time.
By your theory, no cures would ever be invented, only ongoing treatment drugs. This is completely inconsistent with all of human history.
These conspiracy theories make no sense. ------------- Waste and excess are not conservative family values http://www.nytimes.com/ref/opinion/07opclassic.html - Nature is not a liberal plot http://pickensplan.com - A Good Energy Plan |

Doesn't look like a major development, nor does it look ignored.
