Livre d'Or

cancer research is the Big Bad in the minds of the efficient giving people.

I think this is something else where I've not been exposed to that idea.

I can see why it arises, if one thinks cancer is over researched at the expense of other diseases which can be equally bad but less in the public consciousness. Although I don't want to think that because (a) I want to think that scientific knowledge is always good and (b) I want Liv's work to be awesome.

But because I've not been personally lambasted with it, it always seems to come out of left field when someone rebutts it. Is this really entrenched? Or is it a bad example people coming back to? I can imagine how it would make me feel awful (whether or not it were correct), but I only get it in second and third hand echoes, so I keep forgetting it's an issue.
