Okay, so here's the problem with this naive 15 year old post of yours.You assume that you're going to spend 60 years "learning genetics" and develop a super-cure from your own body. No funding, no prior skills or anything like that. You're going to start from scratch and create a miracle-cure that will sell for billions.
Now without revealing how this was created (or do you plan on revealing your superhuman nature to people) you plan on cashing in on some of the greatest medicine-whatever deals in the history of mankind.
In real life.
Time allows one certain luxuries that those w/o time does not. I can eventually get my own funds (15 years working and I already make pretty good money) and I have all the time in the world to learn genetics and medicine and get the funding for a small personal lab, so I don't see what the problem is.
So yeah, that can work.
And no, I don't expect to get the miracle cure off the bat, but time gives me the luxury of studying and learning about my condition while being at my physical and mental prime for as long as I want to pursue this. So, I don't see what your problem with this is.
Also, I mentioned what I would probably try to do given effectively unlimited time. I even stated that there is a chance I could fail (in which case I would just fake my death and start my life over). This, however, does not apply to all and others may chose a different path. So again, I don't see what your problem with this rationale is coming from.

You also claim that "rape" never takes place, but it's reaching 10% of the female population in many western countries and in some of the worse areas, India in example, over 75% of women report being sexually abused at one point. But I'll leave you to your dreams.
1) Never claimed rape never takes place, I claimed that the possibility of rape happening to me is far more remote than say heart disease.

Why in the world should I worry about getting held down and raped??
2) The fact that I'm a guy kinda makes your entire statistic utterly meaningless.
3) What the hell is with you and the OP's obsession with rape? Seriously, chill, no one's gonna wanna butt hump you man.
Sooo yeah /facepalm

My point is that you claim to be living in a "realistic" setting where no violence takes place, you would not be captured despite being possibly the most valuable human being alive, police prevent any crime, you have "armours", you (seemingly with no knowledge of the world) are going to learn and surpass anyone within the field of medicine and genetics in 60 years.This is not realistic.
I'm 36 years old and the closest thing I've had to a violent crime happening to me was a bar fight with the other guy pulling a knife on me and running away when the police walked by.
And PLEASE read my posts. Never said violence never happens, it does of course, but disease and aging happens far more often.
If anything, I think you watch too many movies and I don't think you really know what the "real world" is if you think it's the wild west for everyone out there. I dunno maybe you just live in a really bad neighborhood.
Stop trying to put words in my mouth, I never said I'd surpass anyone/everyone in the field of genetics and medicine. Just that my unique access to unlimited supply of ultra regenerative cell samples and unlimited supply of time will give me insights that no one else would.

Your knowledge of how healing factors are portrayed differently in comics is also woefully inadequate, not to mention your knowledge of the character whose durability our powers would stem from.
Lol at this. So what about healing factors was I wrong in? Please quote me before you start throwing around silly accusations.
