    Provocative question! For young people with cancer, definitely yes, since they have only just begun their contribution to the human endeavor. Since cancers are a combination of genetic and environmental factors, its not as though every cured patient is passing along ‘bad’ genes. What do you think?

    Martha E Fay I ❤ you! Great sense of humor.
