Summary: Billionaire Sean Parker announces that he is giving $250 million in order to speed up cancer research. The funds will be focused toward developing research on how the body's immune system fights the cancer cells. He believes that "Any breakthrough made at one center is immediately available to another center without any kind of IP (intellectual property) entanglements or bureaucracy".
Analysis: I believe that this large grant of money may be exactly what cancer research has been needing. Several scientists and researches have come so close to finding answers and cures, however, they often times seem to fall just short of the goal; to put an end to cancer altogether. With this, it may be possible to end the disease that has been killing and affecting so many people for decades and decades.
