Chu Yang looked up in surprise. "Isn't this the same as cancer cells?"
Theoretically, yes.
Cancer cells are capable of granting a human immortality. The death of a human being, fundamentally, is due to the fact that human cells have a finite number of divisions. To prevent the accumulation of mutations caused by excessive cell division, the human body possesses a special mechanism. After about twenty divisions, each time a cell divides, it ages. Once the majority of the body's cells reach this state of senescence, a person's life comes to an end.
