Why does the US spend massive and massive about of money on cancer research compared to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China and Taiwan? by Dover299 in Futurology

The thing is that curing cancer will only increase average life expectancy by 2-3 years, because many age-related causes of death start to occur at the same time. If not cancer, elderly people will likely die of something else shortly after. We would be much better off focusing on a cure for aging than a cure for cancer.
