Cancer is what happens when the DNA in your cells mutates and the cell “forgets” its instructions. All cells are programmed to regrow over time – that’s how your hair and skin grows. A cancerous cell just forgets when to stop growing and goes out of control. DNA damage is something that happens quite often. It’s not always bad but it is more likely to happen the longer you live. I think that although we might beat the cancers that are around today, new ones will start popping up when people live longer.
