For example:

  • You can fly but you can never stop flying
  • You can turn invisible, but never be seen again

    I luckily found a way to end myself in that scenario or I luckily never experienced that in the first place and had a wonderful life. Luck very subjective to the person that’s why there’s no drawbacks to it

      Good point, if you’re 100% subjectively lucky, not only you would have that ‘live-forever DNA’ but also everyone else that you’d wish for, i.e. all your loved ones. And if you were looking for a new friend or partner, you’d always find a perfect match immediately.

      I guess such an ability might have severe negative consequences for the part of the universe you dislike or don’t care about. But from a purely egocentric point of view, I can’t see any drawbacks at the moment.
