True but we might be more resilient to it that we currently think. Anyway, in T2K nobody would care anymore about cancer... Everything will be about survival, and survival only. Currently, farmers in Ukraine are back around Tchernobyl and they have gone back there for years already. They plow, the harvest, and they live. What is there motivation: There are plenty of free lands overthere that can sustain them. Only the most contaminated areas are left alone.

In a world such as T2K you don't really care about dying at 50 or 80, your only concern is about tomorrow and may be the day after tomorrow (if you are lucky). Dying at old age is a luxury and nothing more.
