BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, An American cure for cancer

President Obama has called for America to ‘cure cancer once and for all’

President Obama wants the US to ‘cure cancer once and for all’. We hear from Pakistan after a polio vaccination centre attack. And, should Denmark seize asylum-seekers' assets?

In his last State of the Union address, President Obama has called for America to ‘cure cancer once and for all’. What would it take for the US to achieve this? We also hear from Pakistan after an attack on a polio vaccination centre in Quetta. And, we hear the conversation in Denmark surrounding a proposal to seize the assets of asylum-seekers.
