Summary - with about a million pounds they could be human trialling this in about 18 months for people willing to sign the waiver, and potentially (quite likely by the looks of it!) be vaporising neuroendocrine tumours. But no-one wants to fund it. Because it's not patentable.

Yeah, that's what happened to Tesla's radiant energy tower, as well as countless other revolutionary inventions. Unfortunately greed makes the world go 'round.

A virus that cures cancer...I bet it'll go wrong and cause the zombie apocalypse.

Why would pharmaceutical companies want that in the first place? They will lose billions of dollars they get for kimo and radiation therapies...

@higs That'd be fun! I'd just need lots of popcorn... And coke or whatever those fatasses drink when they spend 12 hours on the couch.

Times like these make me wish I was filthy rich.

I'm senseless with my money and tend to spend around 60% of my income on other people...
If only 60% was a couple of million.

Surely there are plenty of benevolent billionaires? Where the hell is J.K.Rowling?

Ohhhh humanity you are a cold bastard.
