"And I have my way of seeing things," Nina says reflectively, "Which I use to save people from illness and accident instead of each other. Usually, anyway." After all, sometimes illness and injury are inflicted on one person by another.
And sometimes people commit crimes against nature. If that is indeed the best way to describe what Lex is doing. She doesn't think that making mankind immortal is a bad idea per se, but she doubts that humanity is ready for that. There are a large number of problems that need to be addressed first - society itself needs to change. Perhaps it's only natural that someday people will be immortal, but it's not something that ought to be rushed, and certainly not by a man like Lex Luthor.
Paying far more attention to the conversation than the course that the car is travelling, Nina gives a quick answer to the implied question in the Question's words. "Well, if you can manage without me, then that's best for everyone. If I get caught helping you, then I'm sure that whatever happens, I'll be made less useful to you in the future," she comments. Because though she doesn't expect Lex to do anything too detrimental to her, he can no doubt find a way to tighten up security with regard to herself without affecting her ability to work very much. "Do let me know if you think that getting more of my help is worth the risks," she offers anyway, because she doesn't want him to consider her to be completely unwilling - she's just doesn't think that it's a good idea.
His remarks when they return to where they started cause her to give an amused snort. As she steps out of the car she remarks, "I'd save up for a better car before I put too many eggs in that basket." Turning back once she's out, she adds, "Thanks for the chat. I'm sure I'll see you again." She nods politely before shutting the door and turning to head into her building.
