@surilftohealth88 no, I just meant strictly speaking, that anything develope in the evolution of a species has to be in the service of a species. I don't think cancer is really one of those things, in fact, it is the immune system that kills cancer cells that was evolved to keep the organism alive in order to reproduce. Some view cancers as an organism that evolved to, for example, trick killer Ts into leaving them alone. Surviving a cancer is always a good thing.

@benz57

That is what I meant - evolution is always "to the " and "for the" benefit of a species. As I said, I am biologist so human physiology and anatomy (and also animal comparative anatomy and physiology, as well as plant one ) is something that I know extremely well . LMAO.

Now, seeing cancer as separate "organism " is really out there *insert X-files music here lol but I agree, it is very interesting take in context of literary or philosophical expression of thought.
