We have no direct evidence for this as yet.” [Reply]

	It's what I was saying 'way back in 1980. Cancer has a tendency to affect areas of the reproductive systems of both men and women. Since women have so many areas directly connected to their capacity as child bearers, cancer tends to affect these different areas in general as they get older. Breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. For men, it's generally prostate cancer or sometimes testicular, since that's all they have to think with. I proposed in '80 that, since the replicative process is predominant from the cellular level up, the first stage in human development will be completion of the immune system. Any cancers that affect that system will affect or be related to the immune system. Such immune disorders as Leukemia affected children more than adults, and Leukemia is basically a cancer affecting the immune system. However, as humans get older and lose their capacity for effective reproduction, they are simply less necessary in the evolutionary scheme. The breakdown of the very organs needed for reproduction and resultant cancer is a disruption of the reproductive process itself, with cells reproducing themselves havuing no regard of their surrounding cells, kinda like modern corporatism. Cancer affecting reproductive organs tends to affect older people, while cancer that affects immune systems tends to affect younger people whose immune systems may have some flaw in their development process. It's a statistical process, and anyone can be affected at some point. Since the gene pool tends to resist change and seeks to control its environment by exact replication, any developing flaws will be balanced by a reproductive disorder in the cells themselves. Since replication is the prime directive, immune and reproductive systems will tend to develoop within certain general patterns, and stagnate according to general patterns. [Reply] [Parent]
