But yes, as above. Not sure of the relevance of being female? Unless it's that stereotypically girls should want the latter more. But then, I reckon probably most people would?
I'll keep watching this thread to see who the first doosh is who says the former.
Mars is a bit far.

I'd have to be very intelligent to find a cure for cancer. And I'm not. And wouldn't want to be.
No point in going to Mars, it doesn't support life as there's no atmosphere - a bit like our local pub.
The cures for cancer will be found before 2020, I absolutely believe it.
That's a really tough question. I generally don't like and lack faith in human beings, mainly because we're responsible for all our problems, are duplicitous, and it's in our nature to make things difficult for ourselves and think that other people should solve their problems. And then there's the fact that I have this fixation with space and going to Mars/leaving the planet is one of my dreams.
But ultimately, I'd find a cure for cancer, simply because it's the right thing to do. :rolleyes: Although, I would hate myself for the rest of my life and become eternally depressed.
That was my thought too! Cynical though it sounds there is money in people dying.
My vote would be to find a cure for cancer too.
Intelligent life being 'out there' and intelligent life being on Mars, which is basically on our doorstep and shows no signs of having any significant life whatsoever, are two different things.
