I asked the following question to Google Gemini
Question: How do I reinforce less cancer in the world without reinforcing the metaphor of people as cancer? (forgot the question mark originally, added here for benefit of readers)
Output: To reduce cancer incidence globally without resorting to harmful metaphors, focus on these key areas:
- Prevention and Early Detection:
- Advocate for policies promoting healthy lifestyles, including balanced diets, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption.
- Support research into cancer prevention strategies and early detection methods, such as screenings and biomarkers.
- Raise awareness about cancer risk factors and the importance of early detection through public health campaigns and educational initiatives.
- Research and Treatment:
- Support cancer research to develop new and innovative treatments, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and personalized medicine.
- Improve access to quality cancer care, including diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care, especially for underserved populations.
- Advocate for policies that support cancer research funding and the development of new treatments.
- Environmental and Occupational Health:
- Address environmental and occupational carcinogens by advocating for stricter regulations on pollutants, chemicals, and radiation exposure.
- Support research into the link between environmental factors and cancer risk, and promote the use of safer alternatives.
- Raise awareness about occupational hazards and the importance of protective measures for workers.
- Global Collaboration:
- Foster international collaboration on cancer research, prevention, and treatment initiatives.
- Share knowledge and resources to address cancer disparities and improve cancer outcomes globally.
- Advocate for global policies that prioritize cancer prevention and control.
By focusing on these areas, you can effectively contribute to reducing the global burden of cancer without resorting to harmful metaphors or stigmatizing language.
Additionally:
- Choose your words carefully: Avoid using language that dehumanizes people with cancer or reinforces harmful stereotypes.
- Focus on the disease, not the person: Remember that cancer is a disease, not a personal failing or moral judgment.
- Emphasize hope and resilience: Highlight stories of cancer survivors and the progress being made in cancer research and treatment.
By adopting a compassionate and inclusive approach, you can help create a world where cancer is less prevalent and where everyone affected by cancer receives the support and care they deserve.
Thoughts from someone that is not a doctor –
- Research Ethics gets less than ideally turned up, factors into humanization
- Less Oppression like wars, greater peace facilitates more time and resources to invest in projects like improving cancer research
- Greater accountability in funding of projects and greater oversight sometimes leads to higher value out – oversight at times might increase oppression, oppression might not lead to ideal breakthroughs and innovation – Government projects not always lean is same vein of thought, more red tape and regulation might not always lead to ideal value out
- Feedback today factors into better cancer research and artificial intelligence 100 years from now. Progress gets set to unlikely at times, all gains that have been made will be made – I don’t want to instill false hope, and I don’t want to reduce hope by limiting progress in advance. Progress known as possible beats giving up in advance. Innovation changes things History of Flight (nasa.gov), from what I am reading sounds like first MRI machine was created in 1970s. 2124 likely will have innovations we haven’t dreamed of today.
