Re: TL 10 Humans
I don't have a height preference, but understand that our sex differences wouldn't exist without some reasons, most likely from innate general preferences.

Re: TL 10 Humans
Some women take up smoking specifically to reduce birth weight to make delivery easier.

If you mean in a practical sense, take note that Immunity to Cancer is not immunity to aging rolls - that's Unaging. If you mean that you can interpret a failed aging roll as cancer, I suppose you could, but cancer can easily take less than decades to kill you. So that really isn't gaming out cancer as a disease - something I generally wouldn't consider fun, as a player. Hence my comment about GMs who afflict PCs with such diseases breaking Wheaton's Law.

Re: TL 10 Humans
Median age of cancer diagnosis is 66. Only 1% of cancers occur among children (age <20), only 9% among those age 44-. This is not the type of hazard that GURPS bothers to roll for (and if it did, you'd probably roll it into a generic mortality roll).

at least a TL later...' I believe it means that some of the symbiotic bacteria described on that page do the same thing as nanosymbionts, but are available earlier, not that there is a bacterial version of every nanosymbiont. Carcinophage bacteria seem like they would be tricky to make and DNA Repair and Microgravity Biochemistry ones seem pretty much impossible to me (although I am by no means an expert on the subject).
