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?

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.

Yes it is a silly question. Just trying to have some fun.

This is just too unrealistic. I mean, some people actually suffer from conditions where they have a really hard time healing wounds, like lack of plackettes. And some people bruse extremely easily. But if you were unable to heal at all, you would be long gone. Kids get scratches all the time, and even one scratch would lead to an infection that would overwhelm you immune system.

I think that’s just what diabetic patient have to deal with, wound that never heal will get infection sooner or later. So i’ll just die from paper cut.

Depends on what you’re talking about. If you consider all the injuries we’ve ever picked up in life, we’d all be dead. If you’re just talking about the injuries I have now not healing, then I’m fit as a fiddle.
