What properties and side effects would an organism have if it were formed entirely from cancerous cells?
Scientists collected a sample of a tumor from a patient for studies. Once cultivated the cells roughly resembled and embryo. For further studies they decided to grow them in a bioreactor to see the end result. If by some biological miracle this were possible what would this cancerous organism be like? No doubt it would end up very mutated and might not make it to fully formed state. But putting that aside how would this tumor be different from an ordinary and healthy human being?
