What you've proposed is a big roll of the dice. Who's to say your sick cancer patients don't die off instead of patiently allowing you to treat them for their "whole life", allowing you to make more cash in treatment costs?
Good point, but there would be a lot of people that have cancer.
Not sayin' they'd risk it but hey...
