A friend read me this question from a magazine today. If you were given that choice, what would you choose?
Sorry if the question is in the wrong category, but I thought I would get better answers from here. Thanks.

I would rather find a cure for cancer because as nice as world peace would be, there would always be those minor conflicts that grow and grow. I don't think there can ever be world peace, as it's in human nature to be competitive (and violent). And if there was no cure for cancer, then not as many people would be around to enjoy the peace.
Besides, a step like a cure for cancer would probably propel us forward to something close to world peace.

There are reasons why there is cancer and there is a lack of world peace.
I agree with the fact that world peace can never be acheived because of the nature of humans. Plus, how would a person know what peace is- without knowing what violence or turbulance is in the first place...
Cancer on the hand would be nice to cure but (I'm not trying to be cynical) we need illnesses and things of that sort for population control.
While we are looking to cure more things it seems that (God- or some other inexplicable power) keeps throwing things at us so we can die- because we are over populating the planet and at the same time we are detroying it!
So I think- we really don't have a choice.

Cure cancer.
It's more likely to actually happen even though the same cure might save a cruel, bastard, dictator who interferes with world peace.

i'd flow treatment for most cancers, a minimum of i comprehend what i'd get--a ailment lengthy gone, and who knows what i'd study about helping the human body proceed to exist. international peace may be prepared by technique of having a totalitarian international dictator that oppressed human beings right into a lack of conflict. average, i'd opt for the treatment, yet in basic terms my innovations.
