Does Science solve all of our problems?

Science has help to create many inventions which solves most problems. However, it cannot solve all of our problems. Through Science, people have already came up with many different types of medicines and vaccinations to protect us from many deadly diseases, but this have yet to completely solve all our problems. Moreover, it creates further complications. With Scientific knowledge, people have yet to come up with a type of medicine which can help to combat deadly cancer or cancer in its last stages. In our modern society, cancer is a prevalent problem that affects many people. The symptoms for cancer are sometimes negligible, and thus, there will be a number of people who do not realise that they have cancer until the last stages. Until then, there will be a very little chance of even having any cure for them. Lung cancer is a terminal cancer that takes up almost 30% of all cancer deaths. Also, with the creation of many drugs, there are people who will gradually start taking drugs and start an addiction to drugs. Being addicted to drugs will cause many problems for the person's health and social life, thus creating more problems for the person instead of the original purpose of the drug which is supposed to combat the disease.  Therefore, Science cannot solve all our problems as cancer is still one of the major enigma in our modern society.
