Daodan: Difference between revisions

There is no ''merging'' between the "tumors" and the intact organs. As the process progresses, the human host loses its integrity as organs are "hogged" by the Daodan biomass. There's an invader, an invaded and a front line between the two, rather than a transformation occurring uniformly over the whole organism.

Given enough time, the process extends to all of the host's systems (because, by design, there seems to be ''no'' limit to the field of action of the "patch"). That means the nervous system and the brain will be subject to an upgrade, too.

The biological struggle at cellular level (the host's immune response to that strange invader : an upgraded copy of itself) is a bit tedious. But once the smart cancer begins to upgrade the host's brain (who said it doesn't need upgrading? sure does!), the picture gets much more juicy.

Basically it's the old clon'o'phobic dilemma (what happens if your clone or double kills you and usurps your identity?), except the killing and usurpation happens inside one single body.
