LongHaul Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I like you, packsaddle, you make me laugh. When I stop wanting to spawn I'll be ready to die what ever the cause. LongHaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR540Beaver Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 And here all this time I was under the impression that men died earlier than women because they nagged us to death! Did I actually say something that politically incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 For anyone who wants to continue the cancer research funding diversion, here's an interesting article: http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/v92/n2/full/6602321a.html This is a British article based on British research funding--note that as in the US, there is about twice as much spent on breast cancer research than on prostate cancer research. This article looks at a bunch of different cancers, and compares the money spent on them to the average years lost from the cancer. Interestingly, as I understand the article, it suggests that for both breast cancer and prostate cancer, more is spent than for other cancers when compared to the years lost from cancer deaths--and more is spent for prostate cancer than for breast cancer by this measure. The article suggests that several other cancers, included cervical cancer and melanoma, are significantly underfunded by this measure. The sad truth is that money for medical research is not distributed through a scheme that tries to maximize benefit, but through a political process. I'd be curious to see if this kind of analysis has been done for US research spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHaul Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 It should also be noted that according to the site Hunt provided 1 in 9 UK women can expect to be diagnosed with BC in her lifetime while in the US it is 1 in 8. In the UK 1 in 14 males can expect to be diagnosed with PC in his lifetime but in the US it is 1 in 6. Maybe we should be studying the UK males to see what they are doing right.

GernBlansten Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Married men live longer than single men. But married men are a lot more willing to die. MARRIED MEN DON'T LIVE LONGER...IT ONLY SEEMS LONGER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packsaddle Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 "Maybe we should be studying the UK males to see what they are doing right." On the basis of comparison of UK population growth rate, lots of 'spawing' may be negatively correlated. Oh, death, where is thy sting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
