We are living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year. Homo sapiens live longer lifespans than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history. This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars. The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

I bore witness to my father dying from Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiform over 12 months.

Not recommend.

At least he doesn't have to grieve my dead brother anymore.

My condolences. Brain tumours have affected my family as well.

I hope new treatments can spare future people from such a fate. Cancer is a complex and difficult disease to crack, but I'm sure we can eventually solve it.
