cancer really can't be cured, its a genetic mutation that can be caused by a million things. There are ways to prevent it

Correct. We are doomed to either age to death or die of cancer if we don't die of something else. The only cure for cancer would be genetic modification of some sorts so that future generations cannot contract it. It is extremely complex, but there might be a way. Curiously the genetic "clock" that causes cells to age and undergo necrosis if it reproduces too much is a safety measure against cancer. Stem cells do not have this clock, but if our bodies were composed entirely of stem cells we would probably die of cancer before we age to death.

"We are doomed to either age to death or die of cancer if we don't die of something else."

And so captain obvious makes his move to 4chan.org

Sorry, Anonymous number 4, but there was simply no point to that statement. You may as well have said "We're all going to die"

No, what he was saying is akin to the notion that nobody dies of "old age" anymore, they die of "liver failure", "cancer", or "heart disease".  Cancer is just something that occurs, it threatens your life, but a cure for cancer is more like trying to cure mortality, in a sort of sense.

obviousness is obvious
