For those of you that don't know, all species of animals could get cancer. The only known being to be immune to cancer are sharks. Studies have shown that sharks are immune to cancer by the chemical compounds in their bodies. They have also shown that not only are they immune to cancer, but they rarely get any diseases. Could this be our tip-of-the scale against not only the fight with cancer but other diseases? Your thoughts below, Thanks.

The scientists should do some more tests on this to see how it works. Like, taking some of the chemicals from the shark and injecting it into another species of animal who has cancer, or any other sort of disease, and see if it cures them or not. And then start working on it from there.

if they can figure out the way the genes are coded/setup in the sharks DNA they can then recode what we want to work with Human DNA.

Actually people have proved that sharks are immune to 99% of known diseases

Exactly. They would need to first code it to an animal with similar DNA structure and see how it reacts. And once they are able to do that, then they can start the full extent on making a Human code of the Sharks DNA.

The government makes tons of money treating people with diseases, and could be using as a population control so i dont think their going to find a cure for these diseases anytime soon.

I hate people who think like this... THE GOVERNMENT MAKES $0 OFF OF CANCER TREATMENT... get that through your skull. If you are worried you have cancer, who treats you, a doctor, or a senator? Damn people, use your brain.

Also, sharks are not immune to cancer. It's a myth typically repeated as fact, but as with anything, no matter how many people think it's true, it's still false.
