   No idea about forums, but for a book with more depth on these issues I liked Uri Alon's Systems medicine.

   Yes, the trick will be to prevent too much growth and therefore the appearance of rogue mutants that may lead to e.g. osteosarcoma.

   Lots of organs in the body lack regeneration capabilities once you age as an evolutionary mechanism to avoid tumors.

   Uri Alon's book Systems Medicine has lots of models to explain those differences depending on e.g. organ size.
