What if there’s an earthquake and you get stuck under a mountain of rubble? Could take months for you to get out of there. How about a skiing accident involving an avalanche? Could take even longer When you are completely immortal, you suddenly start to view certain risks in a very different way.

How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?

Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.

Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.

Always on healing includes mental health :)
