Not all mutations are bad. Not all mutations cause cancer.

While there are connections between genetic damage and cancer, cancer is also linked with carcinogens.

“Cancer on the other hand will never be cured.”

Oh really? That must be the exact reason why the NIH and Universities has dedicated HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars to finding vaccines and cures for cancer. The Ph.D’s obviously think it could be done and expressed their ideas very well on paper. The NIH grant people would certainly agree.

“Radiation oncology is safe. I think you should be questioning the future of anesthesia (due to CRNA) and radiology (outsourcing)”

Well first of all, CRNA exist only because of SHORTAGES in anesthesiologists. Radiology cannot be outsourced. 2 reasons: 1. YOU NEED A LICENSE. Indians in India are not US board certified. Lets not forget American Radiologists run the board that certifies radiologists. It obviously makes perfect sense for them to allow radiologists in poorer paid countries take their Profit$$$$. 2. The expense of PACS is so prohibitively expensive that it will require substantial investment for outsourcing to be even remotely possible.
