Re: Charity giving and Conscience

[quote=Acrylic-bobThe Imperial Cancer Research Fund; how many millions of people's hard earned money have been poured into that black hole over the years, and are we any closer to a cure for cancer?[/quote]

Who's to know if there isn't a cure for cancer already? The pharmaceutical industry and research organisations would loose billions if there were. So no incentive for them.

I have read a book that claims a cure exists! Reckons vitamin B17 is it, found in the bitter contents on apricot kernels and apple pips and the like.

Charitable donations are a personal choice and probably needs to be a regular contribution so that none are suddenly cut off.

It is also an emotional response. Many individuals and campains pray on the emotions. I fight against any individual or organisation that says "GIVE". I like to respond 1-to-1 when my internal prompting says "give".
