Age and Rank

I happened to read an actor only in his forties just succumbed to cancer. Emperors, kings, and business titans have lost the battle with the Big-C. I do not think cancer will be cured in my lifetime or several lifetimes, although the chance to finally defeat cancer will likely be helped by advances in artificial intelligence, which sadly carries huge risk on its own, even as it may help humanity in the war against heretofore terminal illnesses.
