also cancer :)

Any of the "regrows damage" side of thing scares the fuck out of me. I mean I want it to come and ASAP, but I also don't want to play chicken with C

Cancer is largely based on your genetics, except for extreme causes like asbestos or smoking. It’s worth the risk.

Not in this case.

"Stem cells survive much longer than ordinary cells, increasing the chance that they might accumulate genetic mutations. It might take only a few mutations for one cell to lose control over its self-renewal and growth and become the source of cancer."

Wow yes. So many older and retired workers from the skilled trades could benefit from this.

It would also be a huge boon for recruitment as I imagine young people considering the career may be discouraged by the physical demands of the job and their potential lasting effects.
