Since Jack is now the new Jacob, will he have the ability to heal? More specifically will he heal Kate's gunshot wound?
You better listen my my sister's and brothers,
'cause if you do you can hear, There are voices still callin' from across the years. And they're cryin' across the ocean, And they're cryin' across the land, And they will until we all come to understand
That none of us are free, None of us are free
None of us are free, if one of us is chained, None of us are free
If Jacob had the power to heal, then Jack has the power to heal. They are the same now.
We've been led to believe he did. That he could cure cancer and we saw him wake Locke after he was thrown from the window. However, we dont really know what Jacob did to Locke, it looked almost like he was dead and he wasnt exactly healed. He still ended up in a wheel chair. And Ben is actually the one who said Jacob healed Juliets sister of cancer so we dont really know what happened or if Juliets sister was even actually cured.

I'll give you the moment when he touched Locke. I suspect he became a candidate then, and that's why he didn't die.
I don't know if we've been given any information to suggest that Jacob can heal, or if he's the guardian of the Island, and that's what does the healing.
I'm sure he must have some very interesting abilities, but we don't really know much about what he can do; he's always so passive.
I hope that'll be the case. It would be a good way out. Kate's bullet hole will be the first test, I guess. But he really wasn't given a rule book for how things work.

I think Jack got his "rule book" when he drank the cup of water......just as Jacob did when he drank from his cup 2000 years earlier.
He did make it to where Richard wouldn't age or die by natural causes. So in a since Richards aging process did heal.
True, so if Kate does get an infected wound or any of the others get hurt, he could make them ageless.

Yeah it seemed as if some sort of knowledge passed when he drank from the cup and Jacob had the same kind of reaction. Plus Jacob didnt seem like the brightest cave light on the island until after he became the island guardian.

Jack certainly has the power to make someone immortal, just as Jacob did, but I suspect it is a power that Jack would hesitate to use. As Richard discovered, immortality isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
