people whom suffer or people who suffer?

please help me i have an essay


and I don't know whether to say
1"people whom suffer from cancer"
or 2"people who suffer from cancer"?

In talking about these sufferers, which sounds more natural:

3"them suffering from C" or 4"those suffering from C" ?

(the people = those) who suffer from C

= those/they who suffer from C

= Jane, John, Mary who suffer from C.

3 sounds very wrong. 4 sounds very right.

Trick: replace "those", "they", "them" with something definite (Jane,John,Mary) and see if it is good English. If yes, then replace (JJM) with "those""they""them".

whom tends to replace him, her, or them. who replaces he , she or they. you might say "they suffer from cancer" so use "who suffer from cancer"
