- daymanstep 10mo agoWhat is baffling about it? It makes sense to me. A normal cell will kill itself if asked to, a cancerous cell will refuse. On some level you could interpret this as, the cancer prioritizing its own survival over the survival of the organism. Obviously the cells aren't conscious, but the analogy seems clear to me.
