Scientists are always finding "cures" for cancer, but there are two problems with this statement.
1. The word "cancer" is vague, as there's many varieties, and there will not likely be a single cure that works for them all.
2. Just because a cure exists does not mean it will ever see production. Companies in the medicine industry are not philanthropists. They run a business for money, and if a cure is not economically sound, it's likely be shelved. Maybe once in a blue moon it will be produced at request by people desperate enough to use it and are even aware that it exists, but it would still be in limited quantities, and not available for mass production.
I'll be more interested in a "cancer cure" if it happens to overcome either of these two issues.

I just found this article regarding the self repairing computer: blogs.wsj.com/tech-europe/2013/02/18/the-self-repairing-computer-that-never-crashes/

This is how it begins. We're fucked.
