Corrected entry: When Frey places her leukemia-affected daughter in the medpod at the end of the film, the machine activates and reads "regenerating atoms." There are 3 problems here: 1) You can't just "regenerate" atoms. Atoms cannot be damaged (especially not by cancer) and can only be ionised, which is definitely not damage. 2) Leukemia is a cancer of cells, and so there would be no need to regenerate the atoms if the cells were the main problem. And 3) The machine would not just regenerate the white blood cells affected by leukemia that are still in the bloodstream, as that would cause further complications with the patient. It would disperse the majority of white blood cells before attempting regeneration. Anyone who studied stem cells in high school and needed an example would know this.

Correction: It doesn't say "regenerating atoms" it said "re-atomizing." The machine basically reconstructs the body on the atomic level, totally clearing the body of any diseases including (and prioritizing) cancer. It cures all cells, bone marrow, lymphatic system. Everything.

Also, atoms can be damaged. That's what radiation and plasma is. Broken pieces of atoms.
