Can you please enlighten my curious mind by amusing me and answering the following questions:
Humans don't mature or reproduce until our teens (At least I would hope
), so if the human race was impervious to cancer would we all live for ever?
If cancer is natures way of strengthening a species then why do perfectly healthy people die of it daily?

Businesses that sell shark cartilage as a cancer cure or preventive have claimed for years that sharks never get cancer. But scientists from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland and George Washington University in Washington, DC, have presented a detailed history of benign and malignant tumors found in sharks and related fishes. 2000 Charles W.
