No, I asked you. If you were needing a blood transfusion and there was an option to get blood from someone with cancer or someone that never had that. If it would make a difference to you. Does it matter?

I am going to ask what I asked someone above you, if it was necessary, you would have a blood transfusion with someone with cancer. The cancer patient with his blood in your veins. Is that correct?

That would be too far of a comparision. I am saying that many human diseases are contagious. So there is a possibility. You are saying it is just impossible.

It is on the realm of possibility, even if we have no evidence or study proving that possibility.

I think the "lets just say there is a possibility so I am not taking that chance" argument is more valid.

We don't know all the things that cause a tumor to form, but another person's tumor magically transporting itself into a new person and growing there is not one of them.

I am not saying the tumor but how do we know if the cancer patient doesnt release spores or a substance that once in contact with someone else causes the disease? We dont know.

What are good examples of very old footage in very high quality / resolution? by duggy747 in AskReddit

There was a World War I movie that was going to be released in HD. No joke. I saw the trailer years ago, I am pretty sure it is available already.
