That's the thing though, I feel like I'd go into shock the second someone shot me. What about the bullet? Will it remain lodged in your gut? Remember the Agent X run? Where it was absolutely necessary that bones were set properly or the healing factor would just completely **** everything up.
There's no way of knowing how our brain deals with memories over time, immortality might turn into a curse.

Well, when I think "healing factor" I usually picture it as a miracle power where things go back to their proper places without needing much outside interference. That's more or less how it tends to be in comics. But if it's more of a real life type deal, you're right, I wouldn't want broken bones to have them heal side ways or a bullet to remain permanently lodged in my brain.

Shock is a non-factor, you'll recover from it soon enough. Ppl can always use surgery to remove things from your gut or reset bone and brain damage is a "worst case" for having a healing factor. There are potentially more examples of ppl recovering from brain damage due to their healing factor than there are ppl going crazy from too much memory over time. Besides, "healing factor" doesn't mean immortal, just functionally immortal. You'll still die if you get dipped in acid/burned. If immortality becomes too much of a drag, book a flight to the nearest volcano and jump in.
Also, if you don't like to get shot, don't live your immortal life making enemies. Don't be a super hero and try to stop crime, s'whay police are for. Think about it, you'll be immune to disease, you'll effectively live forever and do whatever you want with little/no permanent risks. No matter how you look at it, based on benefits, healing factor all the way.

How are they going to operate on you? You have a wolverine-level healing factor.

If they do suffer brain-damage though, how is that part of the brain being healed supposed to reverse the damage done to their personality/self ?
If you deal with emotional trauma the way Wolverine's brain does then you're in for a couple of memory losses.

Don't try to stop crime? You know that there are still relatively high odds that you'll be a victim to crime yourself. You can still be held down and raped. You don't have capabilities greater than a regular human beyond recovering rapidly so protecting your loves one could be very tricky.
I'm also wondering what would stop any government from just taking you and locking you up for experiments. Obviously any kind of medical check would be terribly dangerous for you. OP also mentioned that our organs would be super-humanly durable meaning that they would be resistant a great deal of human diseases.
There are far less risks involved in being invulnerable than in having a healing factor.

Put them to infornt of a powerful attack powerful enough to harm both, who would survive it with least harm? Well logan would, because he healing factor would bring him back to normal health very quickly, whereas supermans HF is diddly squat compared to logans HF
Healing Factor ftw
Have you EVER read a Superman comic. I haven't read one in years and I KNOW his healing factor is at least equal to Logans (frankly much greater). The guy healed from being DEAD. As long as his cells have or can absorb Yk they heal. The only reason he was temporarily killed by DD was because all his YK was expended until his dead body absorbed more. In fact I can't think of a single fictional character with high levels of durability that doesn't have a healing factor, they've always gone hand in hand.
Also if I may ask exactly what powerful attack are you planning to use to "harm him". The guy has held a quantum singularity in the palm of his hand and carried it across the galaxy, he's also flown out of one. That's physical stresses beyond almost anything else ever in comics. Put Logan in a black whole and see how he fares, because even if he heals his body will be pulled apart again seconds later.

What is your point here. My point was not that they would go crazy from too many memories, nor was it that they'd suffer brain damage.
If they do suffer brain-damage though, how is that part of the brain being healed supposed to reverse the damage done to their personality/self ?

The OP really didn't state "Wolverine level HF" or at least I can't find where exactly it states that.
Wolverine-lvl HF would be a different animal altogether. Most of the time, his HF was "smart" as in it repaired memories, organs, got rid of bullets w/o the need of surgery (somehow, in the movies it just pushed the bullets out). W/c makes it even more favorable.
Shock is a non-factor because you'll recover from it quickly.
Healing factors fix brain damage. That's just how it's been in comics, at least most of the HFs that don't let you end up dead from getting your head bashed in. That's just how it works (at least the one's I've seen, HF's have been written inconsistently, I'll agree). At most, you'll get SOME memory loss, but eventually recover your memories, if not, then so what? I'll prolly keep a record of my life and some means to remind mystelf to track down said record in case I lose my memory. Simple solution.
Why in the world should I worry about getting held down and raped?? This isn't some sick televised prison drama, crime happens but not in the frequency where I'll have to worry about it more than I would worry about aging and disease. Not even close. Why would I need to protect my loved ones when the police are around? This isn't the wild west. If I live a relatively safe life and be cautious, then my odds of crime happening to me would be low. But hey, just in case, my long life would also allow me to accumulate combat training and weapons/armor for the worst case. That's the advantage of having all the time in the world.
I'll be honest, if ppl experimenting on me would save lives, then I'm all for it. Remember, I have all the time I need as I don't die. I'd probably spend the first 50-60 years of my life in hiding and learning medicine and genetics and experiment on myself to try and develop a super drug based on my HF that would save tons of lives. When I get enough info I can then sell my findings to the highest bidder. Save billions of lives, make hundreds of billions of $$$ Wheee! Or if I can't find anything (in case my HF is "magical"😉 then I give up, fake my own death and begin my life anew. In case the government starts hunting me (unlikely as I don't think the government would kidnap innocent civilians for an obscure promise of a medical breakthrough, especially when the civilian has ammassed wealth and influence and cooperates), I turn in my findings and let them see for themselves that its meaningless then go into hiding til they give up on me. Again, I got time to wait.
Many deadly diseases come from your own cells/organs, cancer, heart disease, aging, these are things durable organs won't be able to remedy. It might take you longer to succumb, but you'll succumb eventually. A clogged artery would still cause you to die even if your veins don't rupture. Cancer would still pretty much kill you. So would arythmia. Or Alzheimer's.
"Far less risks"?? Are you kidding me?!?! Google leading causes of deaths. I assure you getting shot, raped or kidnapped and experimented on by the government aren't even close by any stretch of the imagination.
The type of risks you're coming up with exist prevalently in comics. AFAIK, this thread is about real life.
I still don't get why some of you are focused on nuclear bombs, getting shot at, and all this other BS.
This is real life, and I doubt most of you get shot at regularly. You could basically enjoy your standard life.....except you'll never get sick and will stay young for a long, long time.
Healing factor is totally the way to go...unless you don't mind getting sick/old I guess.
Okay here 2 things that would be practical to both respective abilities ----->
Healing Factor
1.Sex, we all do it & we all like it, hell some of us can't get enough of it....now having a healing factor would men tissue & cells would, recreate dead cells or tissue, fight away virus' and diseases, so it can feel better and we wouldn't have to worry about shit, apart from cumming in her, which we can all just stop if it comes to it, durability helps this how you ask? It doesn't.
2.Internal injurys; brain tumor, canerous cells, brittle bones, heart disease, and the ineveitable heart attack or stroke, your healing factor would over come all of this, you would feel some pain, but nfor long & it would be numbed
3.You could give a sample of your blood for research, live longer, become wiser and more knowladgeable, giving in your blood for research, and if ur bloods got a healing factor like that, its gonna be worth billions & billions.
Durability
1.You can butt walls, crash cars, jump of roofs, shoot yourself and do all kinds of emo shit, but how does that help in life
2.Well I can't think of anything else apart from making money as a fighter, being able to take just about everything anyone throws at your would be cool and good for money
3.Can't think of much else
Originally posted by Darth MartinButterBall type of Durability, but with a Peak human stamina and strength and able to regulate your pain sensors. meaning you could still enjoy sex...
I assume we're talking Wolverine tier healing. What degree of durability are we contemplating here? Cage? Namor? Superman?

.
I was shocked to read that you could still be Butt Rape if held by enough men(remember you would be peak human).... that would suck...
with Butterball Type durability you would be Rape Proof.....
so now with this new info(Rape able or Rape Proof) what would you choose?
