Are We Losing the War Against Cancer?

An article in the NYTimes recently caught our attention. In "Why Everyone Seems to Have Cancer," author George Johnson eloquently navigates why, as the title suggests, everyone seems to be affected by cancer. Is it our medical system? Has science not kept up with the pace of mutating cells? Or are we just living longer and, having eradicated diseases that once killed earlier in life - small pox, tuberculosis and (hopefully again soon) measles - more of us are arriving on the doorstep of our body's ultimate breakdown, where missense and misprints are no longer kept in-check. 

Read the article and let us know what you think in the comments below. Any thoughts or shares are appreciated!
