Interesting. The question is how to 1) make it target the cancer cells
(the common cold virus doesn't care for (say) glial cells, so the carrier
would not look for a glioma), 2) how to get it to infect all of them
(otherwise the survivors would continue dividing, although the immune
system would now be more likely to look for them if the others were
dying) and 3) how to avoid making the changed cold virus spread (I'm not
sure it would be healthy to have such a virus around, mutations happen
all the time).

Develop a way of perceiving the world that makes sense to you; people who
feel connected to the world (be it through religion, marxism,
transhumanism or plain emotion) live longer and healthier than people who
feel disconnected from it.
