Cancer and proactive division.

"only a third of the variation in cancer risk among tissues is attributable to environmental factors or inherited predispositions." - Cristian Tomasetti, Bert Vogelstein.



Cancer is basically an interference with the way our cells divide and multiply.  Cancer divides and conquers our cells.  The authors, links shown in the caption under the above picture, have published a new scientific article on cancer.  The study behind the article has shown the activity of cancer cells is independent from genetic and environmental factors two thirds of the time cancer develops.
When bad habits and 'bad' genes are only to blame for cancer, one third of the time, this is very serious for how we understand how cancer occurs.  Science will now have to look for an agile and pro-active agent of disease.  An agent which can attack and defeat what we believe is strength, prior to geriatricism or old age.  An agent of disease which is capable of giving a healthy person disorder and disease in spite of their will, lifestyle and genetic make-up.
Science must search for an agent that can generate cancer because it seeks to make cancer.  If an agent seeks to make cancer and can make cancer out of healthy individuals cells, that agent must have a rationale equivalent to the fight for survival.  If an agent has the rationale of a special kind of fight for survival, that struggle must have a rational explanation that can be understood in terms of its own history and political science.
