  1. Re:I hope this is available for everyone eventuall on Doctors Hail World First as Woman's Advanced Breast Cancer is Eradicated (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    To me, its more of an IT and Engineering problem and can be broken down to (as a rough outline):

    - Patient diagnosed with cancer
    - Patient has piece of tumor taken out
    - Piece of tumor sent to ABC lab, which puts it in TumorComputerSystem
    - TumorComputerSystem identifies cells needed
    - Patient goes back in, gets hooked up to ImmuneCellSystem
    - ImmuneCellSystem extracts cells identified by TumorComputerSystem
    - ImmuneGrowthSystem grows new cells, separates needed patient cells
    - ImmuneCellSystem injects cells into patient

    Hundreds of people cut down to a few lab techs.

    Few things:
    - Lease is the most expensive way to own a car.
    - A under 25 shouldn't ever buy a new car.
    - A used Honda Fit is 9k.

    I'd redo the math after that, and be sure to recalculate how much it costs once the car is paid off and is only maintenance.
