Two, you might want to educate yourself as to how research (not only cancer research) is very political and is driven by dollars and cents and is a "big business". Third, if you feel my remarks were flipant and uneducated...so what! It's my opinion [/b]and it does me some good!
Still, we can clone a dog, but can't seem to find a cure for cancer, the common cold, AIDS, Sickle Cell Anemia...the list goes on and on and on! [/B]

Cloning a dog is to apples as cancer is to oranges.
It took much less time because it was an easier task.
In fact, you haven't touched on how cloning a dog has to do with money or how cancer has little to do with money.
The treatments for cancer are incredibly pricey and many companies stand to profit from better treatments and cures.
And then you bring up AIDs - a disease where remarkable progress has been made?
