Even if it is 'you' technically 'you' that is deadly to the whole needs to be removed regardless for the sake of other 'you'. While interesting in a classification exercise the practicalities are the same regardless - a transplanted heart keeps you alive even if it isn't technically 'you' and came from another.

The eating you part is what’s important in that statement. You can’t make friends with cancer long term, only kill it or have or kill you.

A broken leg gets healed, cancer dies.
