If I cured cancer (and I won't), I'd want an obituary in The Economist (at the apposite time), not make front page on HN.

IRL if you cured cancer almost no one would believe you and it would take decades before the treatment gained enough anecdotal steam to get officially recognized and FDA approved.

Ah, but would that obituary in The Economist make you happy? I suppose it depends on what exactly you mean by some "apposite" time!
