For A World Without Cancer: Jack Andraka at TEDxOrangeCoast 

This boy is 15 yo, learned better way of detecting these cancers just by self educating through internet = Perfect example that kids should let them do what they wish after learning basics of reading, everyone could be the star of their passion from childhood, studies show that what more you learn in schools, and go by the books the less creative you become, if you are not allowed to follow your heart and dreams, you just become an ant for banks, and the education does it, not a mysterious "gift", most gifted artists/scientists never even finished their schools. this guy just made way better test, than 60 years of "current high education/medicine schools can give". and that is the problem all over the world atm. People are not allowed to learn them self in schools what they want, unless they are young and have the passion/interest to make things better on their own time. now days new inventions are made by mostly people under 20 yo, with low education, with passion/interest what they do. i remember several times from my childhood where i did maths "my" way, different than the book had told me, and got exactly right answer, but got the test failed cause i did not do it by the book, it was just confusing to get the right answer but still get fail, i did ask my teacher always why i got fail even i got right answer, and teacher always said, we did not learn to count it that way from the book. Nope i got it right by my own way of thinking and it was just wrong by the teachers, i still do not understand it and im sure its still like this in most schools, and it depresses 6-9 year old kids most, they think they are creative and manage to solve puzzle, and then teacher says no that way is totally wrong, do it again like its said in the "book". current education system all over the world is just to make people more stupid what more they "educate" themselves in schools. Have not met a single creative highly educated person so far. Most intellect people are the ones without high education and self learned what they have interest in. The might not look like it, but they surely know what they are talking, just through self educating. world is better place with you Jack Andraka, thank you !

I agree! This is awesome! A cost-effective early detection method for identifying ovarian, lung and pancreatic cancer makes it possible to fight these types of cancer in their infancy stage, instead of waiting until it may be too late.

Thank for all people in the world. Keep doing the good thing Jack.

This teen, which is only one year older than me, has blown my mind, and has become a hero, saviour, and more successful than I will ever be. Jack, you have my utmost respect in everyway, God bless you.

This kid is an incredible blend of brilliance, persistence and compassion. May he get the resources and support needed to create all the useful potentials that lie in wait. And isn't that what education and a healthy society is supposed to be about - for all of us? I love that part of his story includes both how the schools fostered and failed to support his passion for learning. Hopefully this exposure will help with the failures and boost education. To Jack and all visionaries everywhere!

Great speech and presentation. Kudos to you sir for keeping at your idea until you solved the equation !!!

Brilliant kid. Pharmaceutical companys will not let him succeed but lets hope he does. My dad died from pancreatic cancer and two good friends also died.

I love this guy! Making the generation I live in look good.

Amazing progress Jack! I hope you continue your research and one day find a strong way to fight and cure people of this cancer ( and of course others!) I hope soon this cancers survival rates rise! without the hard work and determination of people like Jack, challenging those who offered no support!, the cure for this cancer will never be found!

People like this give me hope in the world.

wow... just wow this is amazing! if only there were more with his drive and determination

This young man is awesome I pray for his protection against all evil

What an inspiration. I hope that this test remains as affordable and easily accessible. This will save thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people's lives. Not sure that saying you should be proud even comes close.

Thank you Jack. Just sincerely, thank you..

BTW, for the person who asked if 'this boy is gay'. The answer is yes. If you are interested in his story of 'coming out', he shares it in his book, 'Breakthrough'. But, do you really care if he's gay? Or, do you care if he can save your life or one of your loved ones' lives through his hard work and brilliant scientific discovery?

This is an example of sheer determination and will power. A young adult that researched his ass off. Even to the point where he mentions he went through 4000 proteins in order to find what he was looking for? It's amazing.

Why would anyone dislike this? Props to the kid, absolute hero.

respect dude, well done. you should get a nobel prize or summink. truly, bravo. hopefully this will inspire other people to use their brains and do something to help.

At this momen i can see about 23 people dont like this video why?I can imagine that these people are part of the multi-million-dollar industry of cancer (this angel can change the future of the world) thet is what we need

Hooray for Jack!*! We the people of the world win with him! Thank you Mr. Andraka. I'm forever grateful for you and the work that you do.

He's an inspiration. It's amazing what he's done, and all idiots on here can do is make fun of his voice? I'd trade my voice with his in a heartbeat to accomplish what he has. He's FIFTEEN for God's sake!

he's amazing, so inspiring

We need more people like you

This man is my hero.

This dude is amazing!

This has restored my faith in my generation, thx.

I admire you Jack. You're purely amazing. Ambitious, headstrong, dedicated and determined.

Proud of him

i love how he made a hilarious duck face picture joke, but no one understood it because they're probably not teenagers on facebook/instagram/tumblr, etc. hilarious. this guy is amazing, so much respect

It's wonderful that he went through the painstaking course of research. I believe the passion of youth. I'll show this video clip to my students. Some of them will find their future here.

My mother died of PC. She lasted exactly one year after the diagnosis. Metastasis of the cancer was evident in the first MRI. It had spread to her liver already. Jack may have opened the door to our eventual success in early diagnosis and hopefully a cure.

That is determination that i could only aspire to have for at least 10 seconds in my life. Not only would this kid be incredibly rich from his researches, even though that wasn't his goal, he proved all 199 professors that rejected him that they were wrong, now they are kicking themselves because they didn't have faith. I know he would never read this comment but congratulations Jack, you have saved more lives then you could ever imagine

You are just awesome & Inspiring.. Please keep going Genius 👏👏👏👏

The two of you - all the young people of the new spirit - bravo! Of course, you will get angry bankers, pharmaceutical mafia and similar insane - but - boldly forward - God is with you, we are with you, the truth is with you!

He is an amazing young man and being able to detect cancer early is a HUGE contribution. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at Tedx.

any one could have done this work ! but not any one ! this 15 year old inspire me so much his passion love to science and humanity is what lead him to what he is, if you have no deep interest you better of with something else if you do you need to keep trying will done jack !

Amazing Kid. God bless you

Bless him... great future ahead of this guy...

This kid is something special, at 15 he did more than most adults will ever do in their entire life. And instead of asking lots of money for this, he only asks 3 cents. I'm 15 years old and i can barely pass my biology tests. >.>

Good for you and good for us, this is wonderful news for everyone!! Well done Jack!!

great work and research that came with development. he searched for his idea and found working properties the properly complimented his objective. well done Jack Andaka

Why cant more people be like this kid, soo much respect

"there's infinite amount of information available but no one willing to us it"... happy someone's making progress

just like all types of cancer they are trying to find a cure... this is a great step in the right away

Great discovery. I am really happy about this.

He is really inspirational

What I see the most in Jack is not intelligence but determination. There are plenty of people as smart or smarter than Jack but they do Jack-shit. Amazing drive & attitude! This isn't the last we've seen of him, that's for sure!

that kid has some serious balls to do that presentation. People slagging him for his lisp, He does not even have a lisp, he is probably just nervous as fuck. Anyone would be. He is and going to change that side of cancer for the good.

Voilà un jeune homme qui en promet ! Longue vie à lui ! Chapeau bas !!

Truly amazing.

This guy is awesome. I am the same age as him and I am looking to start my own marketing business. I was scared that because of my age I would not be taken seriously but this video has proved to me that knowledge>age.

@steve brady. As he states in his speech, it costs 3 cents for a test so regardless of the labour, manufacture etc it will not equate to the 800 dollers a test currently costs

Another thing I discovered is you can create soft crystals that do not further damage the cells. I found a substance that was attacked to the negative pole of the electrode which could be used to pull the crystal mortar to the tumors super conductive material.

God bless this Kid May God's angles protect Jack Andraka ! amen

You are absolutely right. How did those people make the stupid comments even find this video? Obviously they didn't understand a word he said.

This man is a legend no doubt he sould win a prize

This kid is a genius!

Sooo, where can I buy his amazing invention?

un MAESTRO con todas las letras

Imagine how proud his parents are dear god I can't even get all A's at school

The most amazing thing about this is that the test can be used to identify the cancer when there is a 100% survival rate... Theoretically, upon the commercialization of this thing, no one would ever have to die from these cancers ever again. He will save billions of lives. Get him a Nobel prize!!!

pancreatic cancer is incurable at this current time, but this kid is incredible

Is this test available now to the general public? This kid is amazing.

This, This!!!! Is why people that have an idea should be given a chance! 199 nos and one mabie now Pancras and lung cancer vould be a thing of the past!!

dont give him a hard time, that was really impressive presentation for a 15 year old

Through the Internet, anything is possible!

One problem. It's good to have a solution, but how can I take advantage of this information?

This is one of the reasons academic papers should be free to access for all, the high costs to subscribe to journals (even to access one paper it can cost up to $50) it stifles innovation. It was just lucky either this young man had the funds to buy papers or had some form of access to them otherwise he would have never developed this technique.

congratulations to this guy. he's amazing

This kid is set for life when he starts producing these papers.

He should be proud of him self for accomplishing something huge

This kid is absolutely amazing, it's just such a shame that some people even care about the fact he's gay. What does that matter? He's a genius and will go a long way. I wish there were more people in the world like this.

Good Job man ! I am 17 soon 18 . I am doing chemistry and biology at school . My dream was always to cure cancer . After watching this video i decided to do my research too about many things and come up with solutions( even tho they may sound crazy ). If I find something i will send them to you Jack. Thumb up so he may see it :(

This guy is amazing

Thanks very much jack! For inspiring us all!

Where are these new tests in use? Where are they being manufactured? What is the new cost of the test when being administered "professionally"? Have professionals even considered using this? How do cancer research centers respond when confronted with this new test method? Can this method of detection be adapted for other forms of cancer?

Wow. All I can say is that's Inspiring.

only kid who will ever inspire me

this kid should get a nobel prize

Well said!!

Let’s get Jack Andraka nominated for the 2014 Nobel Prize. Support for further work and better opportunities to work in the lab! Recommendations for the use of herbal medicines and analysis of impact of herbs and essential oils in the treatment of malignant diseases. Thank you Jack :))))

I hope all those arrogant professors who rejected and ridiculed him with their titles and degrees feel super stupid now.

Great talk, I loved it. Well said and GREAT WORK!!!

Great job!!!!!!!

Brilliant!

thank you sir

Inspirational.

Show me the report detailing the profit margin of the current generation pancreatic cancer test. In fact, how involved are pharma companies in such tests?

Smart kid! At 15 he's achieved something more big than what most people will in their entire lives. Hats off to him.

I hope the best for this man not kid but man.

I love him!

This is so inspiring.

Man, I knew this kid and he was pretty cool. He did go to the school I go to now

For all those people who say that pharmaceutical companies won't fund this because current procedures provide more revenue--i don't think that is necessarily correct. This is an innovative product--one that i think doctors and medical facilities would want to rather use. It is also a product that once it hits the market will progressively make older techniques almost obsolete and definitely non-competitive. I would think phama companies would be scrambling to design something similar.

Amazing.

wings sent me here and this is mindblowing!!

we need more people like him in this world :D

this kid is a genius...

Awesome!!!

Great job! Jack Andraka, What's next?
