Introduction

In 2007, 7.6 million people around the world died of cancer. One of these people was my uncle, who had been fighting against the disease for nearly a year. His death was a very emotional event for my whole family, and we all had the same question. Wasn't there any way doctors could have saved him from this terrible fate. When I read up on stem cell research, and realised that if it had been at a more advanced stage, my uncle could still have been with us today.

    Should be question mark right?
    Other than that I think there are more than 7.6mil people who died of cancer in the world, so yeah. Fake a better introduction XD
    Other than that, it's quite "emotional", so it might serve to attract attention. Might.

  3. Don't really get it, but you can elaborate your "uncle"'s cancer. Say his last days, where he suffered in pain or sth like that. Will attract more people

  4. Quite an emotional introduction by relating it to your personal account or something that heppen to your family member. But there is the factual part that awaits verification because the source where you have gotten your number statistic is rather questionable.
