Uh… Cancer is not an organism with its own genes. Cancer is you baby, you’re just just getting out of control. Viruses sometimes start deadly but they almost always get less deadly over time.
Not true. As the other commenter noted, bacteriophages (which are viruses) are released from the infected bacterium through the lysis of the bacterium in question. The death of the “host” is literally essential to their multiplication.
I stand corrected. Let me adjust my comment. Most viruses, the vast majority, are not deadly to humans. Those that are tend to mutate to become less deadly to humans over time.
