Through My Scientific Work I Have Come To Believe More And More Strongly That The Physical Universe Is Put Together With An Ingenuity So Astonishing That I Cannot Accept It As A Brute Fact....i Cannot Believe That Our Existence In This Universe Is A Mere Quirk Of Fate, An Accident Of History, An Incidental Blip In The Great Cosmic Drama.

Cancer Is Not Something Confined To Human Beings. It's Found In All Multi Cellular Organisms Where The Adult Cells Proliferate, So It's Widespread In The Biosphere.
