I would rather discover a cure for cancer for many reasons. 1. The people that are actors would not be helping anybody but themselves, because even if they devoted money to cancer to find a cure, we would already have a cure if they picked the cancer option. 2. Lots of lives and tears are shed over one word that almost everybody in the world hates, cancer. 3. People would probably realize their mistakes that the made if they did make bad mistakes to get cancer, they could encourage others to try to avoid cancer because even tough they will get cured it will cost them a FORTUNE. 4. A boy at my old school was in 8th grade and I was in Kindergarden and he died of cancer, I would want to avenge his death as well as many others too. 5. Our world could devote more time to global warming or protecting endangered species the worrying about lives to be lost by cancer. I hate cancer and I would 1,000 times over find a cure to cancer then to be an actor.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between discovering a cure for cancer or being a famous agrees, I would want to discover a cure for cancer. I would rather do that because it helps cancer patients and acting, you just read lines with emotion. Also, discovering a cure for cancer can save people's lives. Like people with brain rumors or other serious cancers. Now I shouldn't be so against acting because I love it and I thinks it's really fun. But there isn't much point to it. Discovering cancer cures is a huge deal and when some doctor or scientist discovers s cure, which will happen, can be the one thing that people need to live. It was a hard decision though.

My decision for this I made in 2 seconds! I would definitely rather find a cure for cancer because I never ever wanted to be a movie star because or an actor because they have absolutely NO privacy and the whole world is so obsessed about them, I would HATE to be an actor of a famous at all. And finding a cure for cancer would help 1,000,000,000 more people than being a famous actor because you could really save so many lives!!! You could be a hero! And people would know you for saving millions of people from dyeing of something that isn't their fault, and it would be a dream come true for so many people!! And you wouldn't just help and save every single person in the WORLD that has cancer; you would even touch the hearts of the family members and loved ones of the people that had cancer. Cancer is an awful thing, and my aunt actually just died a couple weeks ago because of cancer!!! :( It would be the best thing ever to cure cancer and a dream come true for so many people. And movie stars are selfish a lot of times because they have so much money, they can't even figure out a way to spend it! And, most famous people are not Christian, and they may say that they are Christian, but they really aren’t, because you are judged by every single word you say, so even in movies, saying some words can be really bad even if you are just acting. And I am Christian so I care about this. So many people will be able to have a longer life, and live their life, whether they are bald from cancer or not. And who would really enjoy being so well known by everyone in the whole world, and giving up saving so many lives?!?!?!?! :'( Choosing cancer over being famous is probably the easiest choice I have ever made because I can't stand cancer and hope that someday, someone, some people, will help and find a cure for cancer. And I'm not just saying this because I have to do this blog, but because I really care about it. And I do. I wish that I could help cure cancer some how, but I do not know how. So all I can do is contribute money if I ever get enough and hope that cancer will someday be cured somehow.

Sorry for making my blog so long! I didn't even realize it was going to be this long! And that advertisment thing on my blog that says cure cancer in blue was automatic.
ReplyDelete~Samantha
I would rather have a cure for cancer than be a fomous actor because cancer is not very rare. People suffer from differrent types of cancer every day. And being famous isn't everything. You can't get a coffe without getting ambushed! Plus, it would beniffet for a lot of other people in the world. Being famous is one thing, but being a hero is another! And that is why I would rather make a cure for cancer then be a famous actor.
ReplyDeleteWill Guthrie
I made my decision in like 5 seconds! Movie Star! Even though it would be cool to find a cure for cancer I still choose movie star. I would choose it because I LOVE acting! I also would want to be famous. Also I would make a ton of money. Then I would be rich and buy a Corvet. Also if I was an actor then I could live in a mansion! Cool! So even though it would be cool to find a cure for cancer I would rather be a *STAR*
ReplyDeleteSydney
I would totally find a cure for cancer because that is so much better then just being a movie a couple of times. Plus if you're looking for fame in this situation that is definentally the way to go because if you are just a movie actor then it kind of depends because like you could be a movie actor and only play a part that lasts for 5 seconds and you would still be a movie actor but nobody would pretty much ever know because not a lot of people read the credits of a movie, well, I don't but still. Plus I totally agree with Samantha's point on the fact that some movie stars, and in this I am refering to people like Johnny Depp, have like no privacy at all because they step out side and if anybody reconizes you it's just like, "I want your autograph!" or "Can you sign my arm dude?" You get the basic picture right? But with finding a cure for cancer you would be famous for like ever and your name would be put in books and all over the Internet and everywhere and the whole world woul know who you are because a lot of people have cancer in the world so if somebody asked you how you got better you could say, "Well so-and-so found a cure for cancer,", and then you kids would now and a lot of kids like to go to school the next day and then they tell their friends and the whole story gets past along and then your famous throughout everybody and that is like way more fame than you could every get just being a movie star. Also another contributing factor to this argument, the money that comes out of it. But the truth is I have absolutly no idea how much money you would get with either of these jobs. I mean once again with the movie star it kind of depends of how big of a part you play and I have no idea the amount of money you get paid as a scientist so thats achtuly a hard question. Gosh if it's so hard why on earth did I ask it? Well, that's all I seem to have on the matter and I think I've had a pretty fair say. If only we had found a cure by now...

Also you would be famous for curing cancers too, so it was a hard choice (not easy) .
ReplyDeleteSydney
I would rather be a famous actress than find a cure for cancer because there are already many ways to cure cancer.
ReplyDeleteSome of the ways are the Gerson Therapy, Essiac, and Oxygen Therapies. These have been around for many years and work very well. The reason they are not very well known is because they will not make anyone money. They are very inexpensive. I would use my fame as an actress to make more people aware or these therapies and end all the suffering.

I would totaly discover a cure for cancer because I would be famous and be rich at the same time rather than being a movie star. People suffer from cancer a lot and even when it is treated it can still come back. My uncle had cancer and it got treated and it came back. My uncle died and he was 46 years old. If there was a cure that wouldn't happen and he would still be alive. I definately think that being famous isn't one of the most important things. It would be nice to have a mansion but helping save lives is more important. My old dog had cancer and he died from it when I was in third grade. I could refix that if my two aunts or uncle got it. Another reason is that my dad treats cancer. I could help him cure people. A bad thing about if a cure was discovered it could cure the cancer but kill 95 percent of the world population. That would be bad like in a movie I watched where 95 percent fo the population did die and most of the rest turned into evil monsters. That is why I would cure cancer instead of being a movie star. I would do it for my dad.

Having fame and fortune is great and all but does that help other people? Finding a cure for cancer help half of the world from sickness. Being a famous actor, well, how does that effect other people? I'm sure being famous and starring in lots of movies is fun in all but I think cancer is more of a problem. Yeah we have found a cure for some cancers but not the biggest ones. For example, there's lung and breast cancer. Many people die because of this. Being famous would only help YOURSELF. Finding a cure for cancer can help millions of people! If we found a cure people in the future would look back and think of that moment as a life changing event. No one would forget! In the future most people wouldn't know who you are if you were a famous actor. For example, who has heard of Cary Grant? Exactly. Plus, if you found a cure then you would still be famous! You would be in magazines, the news, etc. Anyway, opinion is opinion. Still, just think about it...... :)

I would chose find a cure for cancer because it would a HUGE thing for the world. Plus won't be cute to see the people and kids our age be cured form cancer. Also doctors would say "how did you do it?" So you would say "Because i am awesome:) :P B-) ;)." Also if my grandpa was not dead :( and had cancer I would cure him. Plus people can move on to aother thing. Griffin :P :) ;) B-)
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to be a famous actor or cure cancer I would choose to be an actor. The reason why I want to be famous is because I would make a lot of money. I would sponsor companies and schools. I would buy a nice car and house. The only problem is the paparazzi but other than that I would love my life.

I would totally find a cure for cancer because it is so much better than being a movie star. Plus you would get fame anyway because finding a cure for cancer that's huge. I do have to agree with veda and Samantha if a famous person such as Johnny Depp walks out of a building or something everyone would be I want your autograph and that would get annoying. But if you find a cure for cancer your name would be in so many medical books I think that would be cool. Also I don't want to be remmembered as that person from that cool movie I would want to be the person who found the cure for cancer. Another thing is you would be helping so many peple kids, moms, dads, friends, and family. And out of finding a cure for cancer knowing that I helped so many people that would bring the biggest smile to my face. And Maybe someday a cure for cancer will be found maybe one of us will find it. I think that would be amazing. Gracie piazza
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice between either being a famous actor or find a cure for cancer, I would choose to find a cure for cancer. I would choose to find a cure for cancer because it is such a bad disease that has killed many people. Also my Grandpa died from cancer. Cancer is so sad. I would love to save many lives. I wouldn't be able to go back in time and cure the people that already died, but I would save the people that have cancer. That is why I would choose finding a cure for cancer instead of being an actor/actress.
ReplyDeleteJessica
If I could choose either of these I would Cure cancer. One you have the honor of saving many lives . Two you would become famous just for finding the cure. I also chose this, because four or five of my family had cancer, and three did not pull through. So it would make the deasead happy that you actully found the cure ,and less would suffer. I know it would be cool being a movie star, but I would rather save lives. SO I know everyone would pitch in, and the world would suffer a lot less. Thanks for reading.

If I could either find a cure for cancer or bieng famouse I would actually find a cure for cancer.I would choose to find a cure for cancer because I can save all thoose people who have lost there friends or family's.I would also choose a cure for cancer because the docters think it is cancer.Cancer is very bad and should never exist!I would be a famouse actor if cancer didn't exist.I love acting just not cancer.
ReplyDeleteYour Student Caitlyn :D :D:D:D:D:D
If i could chose from being a famous actor or find a cure for cancer I would chose to find a cure for cancer. I would pick that because it would help LOTS of people and save many lives. I think that it would be really great if soon someone really did find a cure for cancer. It would make a big difference to the world and help lots of other people and not just me but me. I would hope that curing cancer would also find a cure for other things too. So thats why I would chose to find a cure for cancer.
ReplyDeleteJULIA <3
If I could choose from being a fames person or finding a cure for cancer? All though some people would chose an actor finding a cure would help save many lives. To me it is more important then being famous but hey that is just me. For all that I know some of you would want to be famous. To me finding a cure is more important bercause I would also save the familes of others all the grief that they don't deserve. I would love to find the cure so that I can see the smiles of other familes as they get their mom,dad,grampa,gramma,sister, or brother back into there lives. It would be another thing that would bring joy and happiness to my life. Imagine that you could see your family member or someone that you love for another time. Lucio
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to be a famous actor or to find a cure for cancer, I would choose being a famous actor. I would want to be an actor, because I would live way longer. Being a doctor is very stressful, and often times doctors die young because of stress. That would be too stressful for me, so I would rather be a famous actor, because I could meet all the other famous movie stars. I would have a huge house in California along the seashore, and I would have a jungle themed backyard with waterfalls and a pond-like pool. Also, with all the money I make, I could donate that to charities such as RedCross, GoodWill, CancerResearch, Food drives, and to orphanages. I think that living way longer is better than, being very famous, but having a very stressful life.

I would discover a cure for cancer because if more and more people die from cancer then the human race would be gone.All the Earth would be is a planet with animals and bugs but not humans.I mean yeah its pretty cool to be a famous movie star and all.But then you wouldn't be helping us save people from dying from cancer.If I were you I would help find a cure for cancer.so you have two choices.One finding a cure for cancer.Or two becoming a movie star.Your choice.Chose wisely.
ReplyDeleteCameron#25
Those are both really good ideas but if i could choose one it would be a cure for cancer. I pick this one because a lot of people die from cancer.If you were the one to cure cancer you could have a lot more money then a movie star. I think it would be a good thing if someone will find a cure.I wonder what will be in that cure and when someone will ever find one.I wish I could cure cancer.
ReplyDeleteHAYDEN :) :) :) :) :) :)
If I had the choice I would choose to find a cure for cancer. A lot of people would say find a cure for cancer just because they don't want to sound rude or mean. I chose find a cure for cancer because I know how it feels to loose someone due to cancer. I lost my grandpa due to cancer when I was about six. Even though I was young I still understood because my mom would always talk to me about it because she worked with kids whom have cancer. Also it had a very big impact on me because I loved him SO very much.Now that I am older understand more. since then I still cry because i know that if it wasn't for cancer that I might have still have another loving and supporting grandpa like my other two. (I still remember him because I have a very vivid memory of him)

I would rather find a cure for cancer.I would rather find a cure for cancer because you would get a lot of money and be really popular.The real reason I would rather find a cure for cancer because I would be helping other people in need.If your a famous actor you would not be helping anyone except for people who sit around doing nothing just watching tv and movies all day.I think creating any type of cure is good to do.I would much rather find a cure for people then be an actor.
ReplyDeleteXamoi
I would want to find a cure for cancer one so you save lives. 2 because you don't want to be swarmed every day of your life if you were an actor. A cure for cancer would impact everyones life because my grandma died of lung cancer last year and finding a cure would save peoples lives and their children would be happy. A cure for cancer would be the best choice saving lives, being rich, and being actor just pleases people who just watch fake things. I would like to also put some of the money from the cure to later cures. So I believe that finding a cure for cancer.
ReplyDeletethat last one was JAKES.
ReplyDeleteI would find a cure for cancer. I would do that because it dosent if your famous or if you get money the real reason id to make a change. Do you know how many people die from cancer even kids. If you go on youtube and type in Alexs lemonade stand her story will break your heart I know it did with me. So if you have a lemonade stand donate the money to cancer reaserch. I bet you would rather get a new toy or videogame but the right thing to do is donate. My friend gave ALL of he presents from her birthday to orphins. You know that little girl I was talking about she had cancer and she made a diffrence. She dided later but one little lemonade stand made a worldwide diffrence she had a brave, kind, and careing heart and nothing brought her down NOTHING. R.I.P. Alex. PLEASE READ ALL OF MY BLOG

I mean fame and fortune is nice and all, but it does not help the common good really so I would rather find a cure fore cancer.I want to find a cure for cancer because so many people suffer it. Also, if you have cancer it can be a devistating thing, my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer about this time last year. Third, all of that chemotherapy is really rough on the human body and it can take a while to find the right one like with my grandpa they had to try four different chemotherapys until on the fourth one they found one that worked. My grandpa had his surgery about a month ago and is fine but he lost a ton of mustle and he also lost some parts of some of his organs such as his kidney.In conclusion I think finding a cure for cancer would be better because it is not just for yourself it is for people like my grandpa and the many others diagnosed with cancer every year.
ReplyDeletethe last one was mine.
ReplyDeleteSam
If I could choose from a cure for cancer of be a famous person? To me that is a very simple one and not even a question to me. Duhh I would choose the cure for cancer. I would rather choose the cure for cancer over the famous person because I just think of how many lives that would save and how many people would be giving thanks to you. Actors would not be helping anybody! They are just in it for the money not to help anyone. I would never choose a movie star or anything over a cure for cancer no matter how much money that I would get! That is why I would rather have a cure for cancer over being a movie star.
ReplyDeleteBen #23
This decision is very easy. If you're a famous movie star, you could get on the cover of People magazine. If you find a cure for cancer you will be an icon for centuries and centuries. Curing cancer would also help people. Being a movie star could get you a nice car. I would love to be a movie star, but really? Over curing a deadly disease?
ReplyDeleteMatt
I would love to be a movie star over a doctor because you get to be in movies.You get to meet other famous movie stars and pop stars.You could be in the movie with a pop star or ect.You cold also be on tv shows or guest star on tv show.I always wanted to be a movie star and see my insperations.Also people love you the same whatever you do.
ReplyDeleteAlli
I would choose to find a cure for cancer. If we find a cure for cancer, we could maybe find cures for other diseases. Finding a cure would be a huge brake through through out the whole world.More people would live and not them or their families would have to go through something tragic. Plus, if you choose being a movie star,what good would that do. Sure you'll get attention but you'll have to retire sometime. I would choose finding a cure for cancer than being an actress.
ReplyDeleteLater,Kiara Dulay
I would choose to find a cure for cancer. Mostly because you would get REALLY famous for finding a cure for cancer. If you take time to notice in a car, you can see that a ton of cars have that little pink ribbon thing for cancer on the back of their car. Finding a cure for cancer would be one less thing for the world to worry about. You would also be twice as rich as any famous actor if you found a cure for cancer $$$$$$$$$.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you would go out in public, everyone will swarm you with FREE gifts for finding a cure for cancer.
The one above belongs to BRIAN
DeleteI would find a cure for cancer. I mean fame and fortune is great but finding a cure for cancer is much better. A lot of people have cancer my dads friend has cancer. The first one i would test it one was her she is very nice. I mean anyone who picked fame that is just mean. Cancer needs to be stoped it is horrible. That is why i would rather find a cure for cancer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be a famous actor. I would choose this because you get alot of money for being an actor but I would like to find a cure for cancer. I wouldnt just choose that for money though I would also choose this because I could act in the movies and then after the movies i could watch them. But I would really want to find a cure for cancer too this is a terrible question because I would really want to cure cancer but I also want to be a famous actor. NOAH
