Your body doesn’t heal itself. Cuts need stitches that must be permanent. Bones need to be screwed together even if just cracked. How you doing?
D-E-D, dead.
We’ve all bled out.
Yep. RIP 13-year-old me getting my first menstrual period. But probably died long before that after first needle prick.
If you’ve ever broken a bone, just assume you’d be dead of infection.
Actually let’s take this further: multicellular life wouldn’t exist. Life wouldn’t exist. Cell division requires both cells to heal themselves. This is a silly question.
You went too deep.
Yes it is a silly question. Just trying to have some fun.
I’m not the first born child, I likely would not be alive
Very very very dead. The first cut you get would cause you to bleed out and die. It would be a miracle to survive to one year old
Stitch that bad boy up to stop the bleeding. You’re just stuck with the stitches for life.
Unfortunately most stitching doesn’t work by itself, you still need natural clotting. The stitching can help hold the wound together so the clotting is more effective and blood losses lessened. But without clotting factor you’re going to need to glue it closed
Probably everyone would die from common illnesses in childhood
Does “heal itself” include immune responses? Like, could you recover from a cold on your own or would you need anti virals?
No. Purely physical. I should’ve clarified that.
Very dead.
Sounds like the sort of question someone under 30 asks
I’d be very dead.
Everyone in the world is dead next question
I wouldn’t be dead, but I’d probably prefer to die in this scenario.
HVAC tech. My hands would be banana peels.
Add immortality and you’ve got Elantris.
I give Brandon Sanderson a hard time for being a bit shit, but I enjoyed the premise of this book.
Always felt like the immortality was extraneous. Everyone gonna choose the fire after a couple months of no healing.
In the last year alone I pulled a siatic nerve… Burned my stomach (small scar) and broke the left most bone in my left foot in 3 places and barely dodged surgery as it is… So not great?
Super dead. I would not have survived my teens.
so not just a little dead?
Confirmed not just a little dead
