yes, it produces cancer cells which cause the body to die faster.
Not completely true. If you cut your finger or get into a car accident and have internal bleeding from damaging organ tissue and so on, then you will have Rapid cell growth to repair the parts of the body that are damaged. It's a defense mechanism that our bodies have to stay alive. So i guess it would depend on if the person that has this is hurt, or "visually healthy"
Telomeres
Cleavage
DNA molecules that shorten and thicken during cell division are known as chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of tightly coiled DNA and proteins, allowing the genetic material to be efficiently organized and separated during cell division. In humans, for example, there are 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell, which ensure proper distribution of genetic information to the daughter cells.
Interphase begins with a stage called G1 where the cell undergoes rapid growth. During this phase, the cell accumulates resources and energy to prepare for DNA replication and eventual cell division.
Cleavage is the process of early rapid cell division in embryonic development without growth in individual cells. During cleavage, the zygote undergoes multiple rounds of cell division, resulting in a multicellular structure known as a morula. These cells are initially small in size and do not increase in overall mass until later stages of development.
Telomeres
The activated B cell then goes through a process of rapid division (termed clonal expansion) where many more copies of the cell are made.

Cancer cells undergo unchecked rapid division in the body.
Telomerase is an enzyme that extends the length of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, which shorten with each cell division. Increasing telomerase activity has been linked to enhanced cellular longevity and reduced signs of aging in some studies. However, while it may have potential to extend lifespan at the cellular level, there are concerns about the associated risks, such as promoting cancer cell growth. Therefore, the relationship between telomerase and human lifespan remains complex and requires further research.

Cell division is crucial for replacement and repair as it enables the production of new cells to replace those that are damaged or lost. For instance, when skin cells are injured from a cut, mitosis allows for the rapid generation of new cells to heal the wound. Similarly, in the case of red blood cells, which have a limited lifespan of about 120 days, continuous cell division in the bone marrow produces new cells to maintain adequate oxygen transport in the body.
As cells undergo division, telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, shorten with each division. This gradual shortening is a result of the inability of DNA replication machinery to fully replicate the ends of linear chromosomes. Eventually, when telomeres become critically short, it triggers cellular senescence or apoptosis, limiting the number of times a cell can divide. This process is thought to be a contributing factor to aging and the lifespan of cells.
