Physical therapy will rapidly accelerate your recovery time and results.
One is a requirement to be an organism. The other is a nice to have. A great many creatures simply die after reproducing, for example, which we can interpret to mean the minimum requirement has been met and anything beyond that isn’t as important, if we like to view it that way.
Forming that small person is also a bit of a chaotic and messy process involving chance errors of various kinds and variations in the way parts grew. In a sense, the person formed would never be exactly the same if you tried again with the same inputs either.
That this system works as well as it does is a miracle.
EDIT: Missing words.
I feel like once you hit your 40s, you really start to understand that concept of your body only being evolved enough to ensure that you can reproduce and the next generation survives.
In your 40s and you hurt your knee? Fuck you, your knee now hurts for the rest of your life - why aren’t you dead already?
Meanwhile, kids take hits all the time that would kill me instantly.
When my son was a toddler, he went down a slide feet first but on his stomach. I had a complete brain fart and forgot to catch him at the bottom of the slide like I had always done in the past. He few about 3 feet, then landed on the ground on his stomach, his head whipped back and then slammed face first into the ground.
I remember thinking at the time, Jesus Christ, I would be DEAD if that happened to me. But yeah, he cried a little bit and walked it off.
So if I don’t have kids I can be immortal. I can be the midlander. THERE CAN BE MORE THAN ONE!
They got a tridge there too:
wait midland is a real place!
Yeah and they are looking for an authoritative ruler, you should apply!
You die and whatever factors that lead you to not reproduce will become less common in the future.
That’s the theory anyway!
Woohoo. Income inequality and pollution will become less common.
Free will and vasectomies will become less common!
explosive public shitstorms will become less common!
Nature is messy and incredible.
Have you tried jizzing on the ankle? That’s the secret sauce.
I just call my stem cell dealer and spackle that shit on
True, this can knock it down to like 4 years.
No way. That’s how you get a second ankle and then you got to support it for 18 years before it makes its way in the world.
Oh good. 4 more years to go.
Does anyone else just want those bacta tanks that they had Luke floating in after his hand was cut off or is that just me?
I bet you could do some serious shit to a person if you had something like that. Just crawl back into this cyber womb and we’ll get you fixed up in a week.
Still couldn’t regrow limbs. Would definitely be nice though.
In Star wars that’s because the journey that Luke Skywalker was going though was running in parallels with the first Irish King Nuada of the Tuatha de Danan, (in Welsh known as Llud) who lost his hand and his kingship due to the Irish requirement that Kings be physically flawless only to regain it with a hand made of silver that was magically attached to him.

If the bacta tank had healed Luke’s hand then he wouldn’t have gotten the cool robot hand which gave him a point of familiarity with his own cyborg father in their final confrontation.
Reminds me of this scene
