Irish American scientist who discovered DNA says cancer could be cured in a decade

I heard a similar story from a noted Oncologist twenty -three years ago.There is too much money to be made in cancer treatment!

This wonderfully brilliant man whose mother comes from Tipperary and he had done so much for science and suffered with his own family problems. The Irish naysayers are out again in full force condemning anything good about the Irish. I said I would never post again but I have to say I can't stand this bunch of ignorant naysayers. If this group was identified as the bunch of miscreants they truly are, and not representive of the Irish in general it would do so much for the Irish in Ireland and around the world. If you took everyone of this group in Ireland and around the world, not one of them could have done with Dr. Watson and so many other Irish have done. Jealous, jealous, lazy, lazy.

Skellmeyer -- I didn't know that Watson advocated killing children after birth. It would be every interesting to see the source material you have on that. Would you mind posting a link?

I saw the documentary on how Watson and Cricket stole Rosalind Franklins work.I believe he should be disqualified from any Nobel winnings.They would not have been able to finish the work without Rosalind,s work.It was the most important piece of the puzzle.Shame on you Watson.

I hope I am not reading what is written in this piece: "Best research without the contribution of female scientist???" I worked at a genetics laboratory and knew many female scientist who contributed greatly to cancer research. I hope Mr Watson is successful in his research but think how much he is missing by excluding female contributions.

Watson is also a eugenicist who advocates killing any child that doesn't pass certain tests after birth. Funny that you don't mention that aspect of his life, in addition to his misogyny.
