Is cancer is natrual death?
In my opinion, cancer is not a natrual death, we can avoid cancer, for example you get skin cancer by staying out in the sun for to long, but we can control that and avoid staying out in the sun for to long. So my question is cancer a natrual death even when we can control it?

Sometimes it is genetic and there's nothing you can do about it.

No it is not a natural death. Just as heart attacks and strokes are not included within causes of natural death. Cancer is a cause of death. A natural death is when your body just stops for no clear or apparent reason.

The body doesn't simply STOP with a natural death, we just consider a natural death something reasonable for that person's age and lifestyle, like a heart attack for an eighty year-old male.

natural death
–noun death that occurs from natural causes, as disease or old age, rather than from violence or an accident.

Cancer is definitely natural death. It doesn't involve the accumulation of toxins. It is simply cells in our body multiplying out of control, and not functioning or dying in the ordinary way. There is, in my opinion, nothing more natural than cancer as a form of death.

Technically, you can "avoid", or reduce the risk of every form of death, but eventually the damage and wear to one's body will accumulate.

Even the air that we breathe causes cancer, from "free radical" oxygen molecules that damage the genetic makeup of our cells. While many avoidable substances can cause cancer, even avoiding cigarette smoke, smog, red food colouring, and direct sunlight doesn't mean that your body won't develop cancer, so it is most definitely a natural cause of death, unless you worked in a uranium mine for twenty years.

Yes of course it is a natural death. There are only a few ways to die, accidental, natural causes, suicide and homicide.

There is no way you or anyone else can control if you get cancer or not. It is not a preventable disease. Of course you can do things that may decrease your risk of getting some types of cancer, but it is certainly not in your control.

Yes, cancer is considered a natural death. And you are wrong to believe that cancer can be avoided. There are over 200 different types of cancer and only a handful of known risks may or may not 'cause' cancer. Smoking is the only well known risk that can place a person at risk to develop lung cancer . . but that is only one out of over 200. There is no known cause for the majority of cancers, especially childhood cancers of which there are about twenty . . including sarcoma (there are over 60 different subtypes). Sarcoma predominately strikes children, teens, and young adults . . it is called rare . .but it is probably misdiagnosed and far more prevalent and lethal than anyone has suspected. There is no known cause. Children and young adults die from sarcoma and other cancers . . and it is considered a 'natural death'.

Too remember that not everyone that smokes gets lung cancer . . and not everyone who has lung cancer . . ever smoked. Thus you cannot say that lung cancer is always caused by environmental factors.

Also, skin cancer can occur in locations on the body that are never exposed to the sun . . ever . .such as the soles of the feet .. thus, even the sun isn't totally the 'cause' for skin cancer. There are unknown factors at work.

Cancer is an ancient disease . . not new at all . . it has always been around and so far, there is no known cure for all cancers. Just treatment that can lead to an individual 'cure'.
