even if I take a very cynical stance...while I'm sure there are doctors, scientists (and of course companies) that want to make profit, I'm sure at least some of them also don't want to die-or have their loved ones-die of cancer (or HIV or whatnot). In fact I would imagine even a fraction of them are more worried about dying of cancer than becoming trillionaires...do you really think that they aren't trying to find a cure for cancer even for that self-centered reason alone, if not for more noble reasons?
