Message:

Would it be possible that some very mutated cancer cells from a human

could be so mutated that they would be able to live and reproduce 

outside the human body and therefore become a new species of organism?

If so, how would these be classified?  Would we classify them as

protista? Or might we classify them the same as humans all the way 

down to the genus?
