Cancer shouldn't be killed?

In Biology class we watched a video on this 19 year old girl talking about cancer. She talked about how our skeletol mucles don't get cancer very often or are even immune to it. She talked about how cancer should be manipulated not killed because it is a natural thing your body does to repair itself, it just gets out of control. This makes a lot of sense to me. It even seems like common sense now that she spelled it out. Though, was she the first one to start making connections like this? If so, medical doctors now seem a little bit more less intelegent to me. This is really interesting it could be the cure for cancer in the future. I never looked at cancer in this way before. It's not a virus or an invador, it's our bodies natural response to damage, so maybe killing it isn't the answer. Maybe we damage ourselves more by trying to kill it then if we tried to harness it. It's a really interesting idea and I enjoyed learning it in class.

Should Violent Felons Receive Organ Transplants?

"Now, I can imagine situations where denying basic medical care to a prisoner would indeed be cruel and unjust. We may not keep antibiotics or painkillers from prisoners and still call ourselves a compassionate, civilized society."

Watching someone die a slow death and doing nothing when something can be done is not compassionate, at all. However, there should be consequences to being a felon, they should not have the same rights as a contributing member of society. I'm torn on this issue because I feel every one has the same right to life but at the same time if my sister needed a liver and a convicted felon needed a liver then my sister should get the liver. She hasn't threatened the lives of innocent people, she's not in jail.
