They would put these people on a pedestal and say "look at what we discovered" "come to our university, we produce world famous scientist". Imagine the country who discovers the cure and the bragging rights too it. The pharmaceutical company who has the patent to the actual cure and how quickly their popularity and stock would rise. I do think there is big money in treating illnesses, but I can't fathom someone holding back the cure for cancer.
