And why do you keep ignoring the fact that Amber was already actively dying? That tank wasn't healing her, it was just slowing the process of death. That was the entire point of the time limit they gave Pyrrha. Do you have some basis for this claim? They don't state in the series that she was actively dying, only that she was alive for now and if she died her powers would likely go to the person who killed her. I was under the impression that they were pushing her to act because they knew the enemy was setting plans into motion and they wanted every resource available to stop her ASAP. "Ironwood : For now. We're using state of the art Atlas technology to keep her stable. "

"Ironwood: Well, we don't know what will happen if-when passes" I'm pretty sure there was a line by Qrow or Oz stating in effect that Healing her body may/should be possible but that she kept slipping away because of what Cinder did to her soul....

I'm not bothering to look for it at this time as I still believe DA's theory lacks burden of proof and the quote itself proves nothing either way as it leaves two possibilities:

1. the body is effectively perfectly healthy aside from lacking a soul and those issues that having an aura fixes are the only issue

2. The entire body is still heavily damaged because the Remnant healing technology required to fix certain injuries needs aura.
