It's one thing. It's a mutation in the DNA that causes uncontrolled cell division. You unlock the key to that, you unlock everything. Anything else from these fucking science bros is just language games of classification.

EDIT: Apart from the thoughtful replies from TerminalEncounter and HiImThomasPynchon, the snark in the rest of the comments is through the roof. From the same people, btw, that will shout "ACAB right now," "guillotine capitalists right now!," "FALC right now," "gulag them all right now!" As though those are more realistic than what I'm envisioning. No wonder online/western leftists never get anything accomplished. Ironically, you're the behaving exactly like kind of people that would have made snarky comments in the past like "lol aboslish slavery, yeah I wish we could do that!" or "give women the right to vote, yeah if only it were that easy!" It's a weird kind of regressive reactionary thinking (except of course for things they personally want to get done, then it's "we can do it right now"). It's weird, with homelessness, the solution is "simply give them housing" but with this it's "it's more complicated honey..." Fucking pathetic...

    You can’t just “solve” mutation - nature has had a headstart of billions of years on us and still hadn’t sorted it unfortunately.

    Stopping mutation through evolution is pretty much impossible even if you could somehow engineer an artificial way to keep all cells from changing because evolution is mutation.

    Some are dead ends or dangerous issues sure but plenty provide small benefits that have a .001% more likelyhood to survive that over a large population and long period of time so dropping mutuations entirely would be silly anyway. Adaptation is important.
