Zitat des Tages von Renato Dulbecco:
We have ourselves begun to put our house in order by banning some experiments that may contain a risk for mankind. We would like to see society take a similar attitude, abandoning selfish practices that are dangerous for society itself.
Competition, I think, is always a good thing.
While we spend our life asking questions about the nature of cancer and ways to prevent or cure it, society merrily produces oncogenic substances and permeates the environment with them.
People try to do better than other people. It's an incentive.
Society does not seem prepared to accept the sacrifices required for an effective prevention of cancer.
I know mortality exists, but I cannot do anything about it. So it does not make me anxious.
