Well, I want it to be more of a tobacco company, there has to be that angle of power. All sin-related diseases start getting into food companies, alcohol, etc...They are too separate, I cant imagine them consolidating.
I see. My thoughts were that if you just lump them all together it would get to the essence of what sin is (a lot of spec. fiction is very similar to philosophy in their use hypotheticals like this to tease out the essence of an issue). It would also be cool to describe a world where sin is physically without consequence and question what the other consequences are. It could also touch on the fact that humans, as a species, strives to "sin" without consequence (i.e., medicine, confession, reason). But I think I understand the direction you are going in. In that direction, I would say it would be more interesting (and maybe accurate) to just say that cancer had been cured. That way the story can be about the interesting, perhaps negative, spin-offs of an achievement that is universally lauded.
Why not go all the way and say all sin-related diseases are cured?
