I’m getting the sense that the control system here is pretty tight. In that, any intervention that causes cells to change, divide, or die… pretty much causes statistically more cancer.
(As does eating barbecue, but is that not also an intervention of sorts?)
I’m sure we can fix that bug in our project of curing so much pain.
I used to think we’d be testing nanobots in patients by now, so what do I know? But I don’t think we’ve found the mutation/metabolism/mitosis sweet spot.
Save us, something we haven’t tried yet! Maybe it’s still CRISPR, and I’m just talking impatiently.
