Correct guess.

I've also never been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Both are bad. A national database of terminal cancer diagnoses could also do some good - but it would certainly not be a cure.

Notice my phrasing - "Reaction:...should be needed..." etc. Also notice the FBI's phrasing in the article - "...will help combat...by facilitating..." They certainly aren't spinning their DB as anything resembling a cure.
