She gives you a series of prescriptions to take over the coming weeks. One drug will attack the tumor, another will cut off its blood supply and a third will activate your immune system to eradicate the remaining malignant cells. You're lucky this is happening in 2050, she tells you. If you had been diagnosed in 1950 or even 2000, you would have likely died within the year. B.A., Political Science and History, University of Michigan (1997); J.D., Seton Hall University School of Law, 2001. Jack Maniko serves as Legislative Assistant to the Honorable John D. Dingell of the 16th Congressional District of Michigan.
