Regular Aspirin

There are so many conditions that are said to be improved by a regular low dose of aspirin (those that spring to mind include heart attack, stroke, embolism, migraine, Hughes/Sticky Blood syndrome, DVT, but I am sure that there are a host more) that I was wondering why we don't all just take an aspirin a day as a prophylactic?

Is there any harm in a normal, healthy person taking it on a regular and continuous basis "just in case"?
