+416 People spend billions of dollars on cancer, AIDS, and other diseases. Why not just spend a couple thousand to find us teenagers a cure for acne quick, it would be helpful, amirite?

Yes. Because acne is deadlier than AIDS.

There's already plenty of medicine for severe acne that works quite well.

Wow, this is easily one of the most immoral, inhumane posts I've ever read on amirite. Congratulations.

couple thousand dollars LOL, already millions of dollars are going into dermatology related industries, and also, nobody cares about your stupid pizza face, i hope you stay that way forever and get cancer on your face.

I don't understand why u americans don't have a cure for acne yet? In south africa we use these pills called roacutan. Dries out your skin completely & after that - goodbye acne forever!

I agree with everyone else...acne is not nearly as deadly as AIDS and cancer...

I would rather have acne than AIDS.

Acne will eventually go away. AIDS is kinda permanent...

Yeah, that was really stupid. It would still take a long time to cure acne completely, and if they did that would mean quite a few less researchers would be working on helping with cancer. You're basically asking them to solve a problem which could be fixed with some cream at your local pharmacy.

My grandmother recently died from acne and the poor kids in Africa are having grand outbursts of zits, leaving them hiding away and in severe embarrassment every single day of their existence. Don't forget about the black heads that are affecting noses EVERYWHERE. It's a pandemic I tell you.

Maybe because people aren't DYING from acne? Seriously, for most people acne is just a part of growing up and will go away in due time.

Yeah, because acne is SO much worse than a disease that might kill you. Lets forget about cancer research. Whiny teens and their little zits that cause HUGE EMBARRASSMENT (which is obv. worse than death) need the money more.

I don't think the point is to drop cancer research, I'm thinking its more along the lines of: Our technology and medical procedures are so far advanced that you would think that it would be possible to find an acne cure. Of course, your idea is TOTALLY the first thing that comes to mind. Yeah. Give it rest, will ya?

Did you not read the post? I'm saying that acne goes away with time and will not kill you, so why take some money that could go to much more important causes and give it for acne research? That few thousand dollars more is a little closer to finding a cure, don't you think?

But if they had a cure for acne, that worked, and was affordable, every teenager that had money would go out and buy it. Thus making enough money to help fund for finding cures to AIDS, Cancer, Ect.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That's totally true! I know I would buy it :)

As some people said, the point is not "give 5 million dollars from aids and cancer research to acne" but it's more like "We have lots of medical research, acne can't be difficult to cure, spend a few thousand on it and get it done"
