There is a genetic disorder in which a person does not have the ability to feel any physical pain called congenital analgesia. While this may sound like a blessing, it's not really a good thing. Pain is your body's way of telling you that you are hurt and you need to stop whatever is causing the hurt or you could get seriously injured. Not being able to feel any pain means that you are more likely to get seriously injured. People with congenital analgesia rarely live past their 30s.
