Pasteur comes to mind because of the Pasteur Institute, you might get a

the most brilliant people in the world, and these are French ethnics and
not imports. There is no "used to be" to it.

So, then, why is the cancer mortality rate higher there?

Why is overall US mortality higher than say, Iran ?

You might also ask what comparative incidence of cancer is. I doubt they're the
