Actually there are some interesting parallels in biology. I’m not sure what they prove but they are interesting…

The body can of course come under attack from external sources (e.g. car accidents, plague infection, etc.) but one of the most prevalent difficulties is with internal attack when the body stops doing what it is supposed to.
Cancer is one of the most common forms of this. When little parts of the body become “selfish” and “decide” that they are the “most important” part of the body. They begin sequestering resources that aren’t theirs and hurt the rest of the body to grow beyond their intended design – ultimately causing widespread death throughout the body – including the death of the cancer itself.
