#4I dream of future where cancer of every kind is a fully treatable malady at best, or manageable chronic condition at worst.
We are not there yet, but I have a hope that we are no further than century away from achieving that.

If we can avoid destroying ourselves, we will achieve it.

#7They used DCA (dichloroacetate) to do the inhibition. It's going to be ironic, if DCA will actually be useful for cancer treatment.
For those who don't know, DCA treatment made a lot of noise in the early 2000-s, with all kinds of conspiracy theories about it. Like drug companies covering it up because it "can't be patented". People even crowd-funded its clinical trials.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be too toxic on its own because cancer cells can adapt to the levels of DCA that kill the rest of the patient.

#8I'm 31 which means I got maybe around 20? years before I become a prime target of potential cancers. I really hope by then most of even today's abilities are at least available in most hospitals, since right now cancer treatment in Estonia is still old-school chemotherapy. Not even sure if our doctors have heard of Car-T. 20 years is probably too little time to make dying from cancer a thing of the past, but maybe getting today's cutting edge mainstream by then would be possible.

Maybe the notion that we can live for an extended period of time will motivate more people to become ecologically responsible.

Our hearts would eventually give out anyway. I'd just much rather die of a sudden heart attack than a long and torturous cancer battle.
