If you could find the cure for cancer would you charge money for it or give it for free?
I think the pharmaceutical companies are already making too much money over people. They literally make meds with side effects so you'll need to take more and different meds!
Who knows what will they so if they'll own the cure for cancer!
What do you think?

Research costs money. Or do you think the people in pharmaceutical companies work for free for many years?
The question is only how high the price of the medicine should be when it is sold. Unfortunately, the market in capitalist countries is free and a government can't regulate it.

I meant of course that every a lot of meds that are needed to save a life are so much expensive than they should be!
They don't need to work for free but also not earn billions of $ on patients backs.
Cancer is such a worldwide and so much needed. i think a thing like this should be available to all that need it. maybe subsidized it.

I have actually read somewhere that there is a different method to actually stop the cancer cells from growing... like its just not that commercially available or what because as you said the pharmaceuticals have already formed a bond to milk the patients with all these chemo therapy and all... i mean what else is new? our world has become like this.

I think there is already solution for it, not to eat anything that comes from animals that proved to cause cancer. and for your question no I wouldn't charge money.

We can not keep money out of it as research and production needs money. But it should be genuinely priced and should be helpful.

I think so. It would be a pity for a scientist to earn nothing for his/her hardwork. :"(
