"How can I ask a world that has come to regard Cancer as curable, how can you ask such a world to put away that cure, to go to the dark days?"
Touché. The rhetorical question makes a very good point. What the children are doing is changing the bigger picture for the better. Because of recent experiences for my class in particular, I think I would do anything to have a cancer free world. The question is rhetorical because it really takes no thought. From an outsiders perspective, if I was asked if it'd be okay to cure cancer, I would say yes on the spot and wouldn't even worry about the details. However, now that I know the details, I don't know how I would answer. It's unfair to rob these children of a proper life, but on the other hand cancer kills people of all ages, all races, and all ways of life. This is a hard one. For a second there I forgot the book is fiction.
