| Mar 30, 2014 at 12:53 | comment | added | Lèse majesté | @Richard: The type of cancer it is and to what stage it'd progressed to definitely could have made it impractical for him to treat, even if he does have huge advantages over regular doctors. | |
| Mar 30, 2014 at 12:36 | comment | added | Valorum | @Lèsemajesté - This assumes that the tumours are in nice, easy to remove clusters. The cancer caused by Adrian Veidt was a modified lung cancer, basically inoperable. | |
| Mar 30, 2014 at 12:22 | comment | added | Lèse majesté | @Richard: He'd be more likely to remove them one cluster at a time, much as surgeons do. Except he doesn't need to cut anyone open or use a laparoscope or perform biopsies. He'd just destroy the cancer clusters directly and scan the nearby tissue for microscopic cancer sites that a surgeon would likely miss. | |
| Mar 30, 2014 at 11:59 | comment | added | Valorum | @Lèsemajesté - Removing the cancer one cell at a time would take a very long time. | |
| Mar 30, 2014 at 8:59 | comment | added | Lèse majesté | But he doesn't need to create life to cure cancer. He just has to kill the cancer cells or remove them from her body, which he ought to be able to do since he can perceive matter on a subatomic level and manipulate it telepathically. I mean, he created a skeleton, circulatory system and musculature for himself after he was disintegrated. | |
