Reblog.

I normally don’t reblog cause I find it disinteresting to read other people’s reblogs for the most part because they want to portray their sense of taste most of the time through cutesy pictures of clothes, buildings and it usually doesn’t really project any thought other than aesthetics or pseudo-novelty. But this one thing is vitally important and really disheartening. It’s about how a group of canadian researchers basically found a really big breakthrough in cancer cures and no pharmaceutical company is really interested. This is due to the fact that they are unable to patent the chemical and make a profit. On top of that, they would probably lose lots of money off revenue of other expensive anti-cancer supplements if the cure was found to be truly successful. Read more if you want. Stuff like this in medicine just upsets me.
