Ask HN: If cancer were cured, would you stop eating meat?

1•amichail•3mo ago
If cancer were gone, other risks—heart disease, accidents—matter more.

Would you change your habits to maximize lifespan? Stop eating meat, drive less, exercise obsessively?

How far would you go?

>If cancer were gone, other risks

Cancer(excluding pancreatic and couple others) has been cured. This is 0% risk to me. Feel free not to believe me, it doesnt bother me at all. The discussion is habit change.

>heart disease,

Heart disease is a bit wider, but risk here is very manageable. Cerebral/stroke also very manageable risk. I really should get a gym membership.

>accidents—matter more.

Absolutely. I'm ridiculously paranoid about accident risk. I dont speed while driving anymore. But this goes to far more than that.

>Would you change your habits to maximize lifespan?

Absolutely, I made that huge change. Multiple ways.

> Stop eating meat,

The opposite, far more meat, less sugar and carbs. If I had a butler robot cooking for me, id have them cooking all of the meats.

>?drive less, exercise obsessively?

I absolutely should exercise obsessively. I should do better here I mnow.

>How far would you go?

Further than you expect.

Care to elaborate?

Not the OP but it's true that early detection has dramatically improved survival rates for many cancers. Some types now have over 90% five-year survival when caught early. But it's a bit optimistic to say cancer has been cured. Even with early treatment, recurrence is possible - and as the OP alluded to some cancers such as pancreatic, liver, and certain brain cancers still have very poor outcomes. Plus, many of the cancers in the preceding list don’t have routine screening, so they’re often caught late, which makes prognosis poor.

If science can cure cancer, maybe someday it’ll make lab-grown meat that tastes even better.

Lifespan or enjoyment of life? At half way point, I feel like I much more value enjoyment that comes from poor diet and laziness than potentially extra 10 or 20 years... I really don't feel fear of dying...
JohnFen•3mo ago
I'm not interested in maximizing lifespan, honestly. Quality over quantity.
