Also like, we aren't cursed to a life of suffering and early death if something takes a bite out of our leg, we can patch it up and get assistance from those around us to still live a good life.

Hell yeah, that's what sets humans and non-humans apart: if part of our pack can't survive on their own, we take on the burden of surviving for them. No other animal can survive a broken femur like humans can, and it's not because we have some incredible healing factor. Whenever I'm on the verge of feeling despair, I think about that 15,000 year old broken femur

We CAN do that. Whether we choose to as a society, is far more up in the air, unfortunately.
