Q
Is it possible to have no reaction to pain?
A
Expert Answer
Congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP) is extremely rare and dangerous. Pain serves essential protective functions. People with CIP often bite their tongues, break bones unknowingly, and develop infections from unnoticed injuries. Most die young from preventable causes. It's a genetic condition, not something to aspire to.
