I used to work for a company that provided specialty lab mice. A lab mouse can cost upwards of $100,000.

Before gene editing they used to actually expose the mice to certain things, or train them for things. Now with DNA mapping complete and gene editing for animals common place, the cures are coming fast and furious. For $50 you can get a mouse that used to cost $25,000.

Thanks for the info. I hope you are right(about the cure) I’ve lost several relatives to cancers of all types and few had any common demoninators. Some smoked, some drank and a couple had none of the “usual suspects”

Hence why I asked my question.

Deducting from your answer, scientists must going down the genetic rout for answers.
