I believe that cures are worth fighting for. If we could find a cure to cancer, malaria and any other decease that we have no cure for yet, then millions of lives would still be alive and there would be no more headings in the newspaper saying that Thousands die in with malaria in africa. Our world would be much better and would be safe from deceases that we can not cure. Family members wouldn't be dyeing because of some decease with a unknown cure. With a cure to these deceases then this world would be a better place.
"Even though I'm not running anymore, we still have to try to find a cure for cancer. Other people should go ahead and try to do their own thing now." Terry Fox
Terry is right about how people should do something for cancer research, and people are. Only there are not enough. People think that someone else will do something about it and then that someone thinks that someone else will do something about it and it just goes on and on. In fact there are probably only a few who are smart enough to take charge and do something in this world, like Terry Fox did. If we can start taking charge of our lives and save others, then we will get somewhere and life will be a lot happier for everyone.

"AIDS and malaria and TB are national security issues. A worldwide program to get a start on dealing with these issues would cost about $25 billion... It's, what, a few months in Iraq." Jared Diamond
Why are we spending so much money on war when we could be using it for better? Diamond is right when he says that the money spent on a few months in Iraq could change the whole world for the better. Why do we even need war when we could just settle it over a meeting? If the US never went to war since 2001, then we would have over $1,282,600,000,000 to use to fight deceases around the world. Imagine how much we could have accomplished with this kind of money, let alone if we had the money of all the countries in the world's money used for war. If this could have happened, then we would probably have cures to all of these deceases which are killing millions every day.
We need cures to deceases in this world and this will not happen unless we can get enough money to get the research for them. And people aren't helping by squandering their own money on unnecessary things and are not doing anything to help others. If we could just think about others slightly more, and cut back on a few unnecessary things, then this world could be a much better place. This is why I believe that cures are worth fighting for.
