Maybe it's just the conspiracy theorist in me but there are so many greedy, self serving people running those companies that I wouldn't doubt it. Unfortunately money is the most powerful thing in this world, as evident by all the human suffering going on all over this planet.
Except that these greedy people will one day die of something, and that will probably be some sort of cancer. What do the greedy rich (if that's what you think they are) always wish for in the end? A way for their money to buy them more time!! So.. They cure cancer...

I don't believe all that stuff about "treatment being more profitable" Curing it is still treatment, it's just short treatment. And then we'll still pay for other things as we get older anyway..

It's a win win.. we're going to die of something

Eh edited cause people already made my point
