  • You can turn invisible, but never be seen again

    The ability to cure any disease at will. Also the ability would be transferable. So if i touch an object, and then have that object touched another individual touches it or consumes, it would heal a disease or ailment.

    I would then claim to have discovered the cure for Alzheimer’s. I would just touch a large vat of some sort of liquid and then ship out A vile of liquid from that vat And then the person is cured of Alzheimer’s.

    Within a year, I’d come up with a cure for another disease and then start shipping out the vials for that too.

    Maybe a year after that I come out with cures for 3 diseases. I’d have to scale it up so that way people weren’t immediately suspicious of how I came up with cures for everything.

    I would have to charge enough so I could keep expanding the company paying for employees and machinery needed to create the vials package it ship it, etc. I’d charge a dollar per vial sent out for my personal profit. With a minimum personal profit of $40,000 US per year.

    And just so the world isn’t screwed when I’m dead, I would transfer the ability onto multiple object objects. So for example, I would put it on rocks. That way they could use the rock to then touch the vile of liquid to create more medicine.

    Since I could never turn it off, I would just keep healing a small patch of skin on my big toe or something. Since skin is continuously aging and technically aging is a disease I would have no problem on the side effects. It would just continuously heal that patch until I want to heal something else.

    One vile would cure one ailment or disease.

      Yeah I have said I want a transmissible immunity to sexually transmitted disease, that would save a lot of suffering, and be a lot of fun to get the immunity going out into the world but all disease? Is that advisable? There may be some need for it to keep evolution going, or some effect we can’t predict. I like the way you are rolling it out here.
