The Human Body

[SapphireStar]

Dont you just find it fasinating? And Im not talking about breasts and such, Im taking about the inside of your body, your organs, etc.

I mean, your eye for example. I was just looking in my mirror and turning my light on and off to watch my pupil change size. It was adjusting to let the right amount of light into my eyes. Amazing.

Also images are upside down when you first view them. They are sent to your brain, where your brain turns them the correct way round.

Im just fasinated by this vessel thats keeping me going. The blood cells, oxygen, cell repair, its all incredable. I dont think people take enough time to understand and appricate what a temple your body really is.

And also the fact that, if I am correct and remember well, humans only use about 4% of their brains' intellectual potential, Einstein used about 7 or 8%...

Yeah in fact the human body, scientifically speaking, is a wonder of nature that, and this was proven, was designed to replace dead cells and last eternally. Though it does happens that when reaching a certain age (about 40 years maybe more maybe less) the human body's cells reproduction is reduced which explains why wounds last longer to heal and why it takes more time to recover from a illness.

Though the only cells that won't reproduce are brain cells. Each one is born with a set amount of brain cells that he/she might lose due to either drugs, traumas on head, illness, abuse of food and other things.

I think the cells are interesting. The nuecleus controls the cell but its little. And i think humans, like the earth is mostly made of water. Dont quote me on that.

Also how some viruses, like HIV which causes AIDS, can use our own cells against use by infecting a cell and changes the genetic code to make it produce more copies of the virus. Also the way how this virus keeps evolving is something astonishing for the scientific community...

Sad, but true. It's scary to know that there are many viruses out there that are lethal to the human body. Ebola is a terrible virus. Flesh eating bacteria is also scary, not a virus though. I find it interesting how the body can be exposed to many different diseases, and what could happen. Scary though. :/

I think one of the most fascinating thing about the human body is DNA. Each person has a different DNA coding. We all carry different codes and codes that date far back. I find it so amazing that these codes determine all the possibly of what your future children will look like. (I still don't want kids )

With our current technology, leaving ethics aside, we can manipulate the genes to decide many aspects of human before birth. The DNA is juts like a map which includes every single detail of how we will look like, our behavior, physical resistance and weaknesses, etc.

Yes it's sad to know that there are viruses and many other diseases that threatened to kill and corrupt the beauty of the human body, though it's also sad that some of them were created in laboratories by us.

If we were to clone someone, the genetic cold will have the actual age of the person which might lead to subjects getting old faster than usual.

I am not against cloning organs, but I am totally against cloning a whole person...

That is true. I heard about that. It seems unnatural to me, but it can prevent humans being born with disorders such as down syndrome.

Biological weapons.

I agree. Cloning organs can be very help for transplants and give people a second chance at life. (All though, if your a chain smoker and you get lung cancer, you were asking for it.)

I could not imagine a world with cloning human beings. Imagine that the government would clone humans with no sense of emotion used for war. It's a little disturbing for a cloned human being to not have parents or a family. ...Oh boy...now I'm thinking about anime. o_o

Who knows, technology become advanced everyday. They already cloned a sleep.

Something like the movie Universal Soldier (both parts) XD. Though in those movies they reanimated the corpses of the dead.

Scientists are trying to find a way to reanimate the dead, but it won't be easy 'cause once the brain dies there's no turning back....

I love how the human body works....which is in more ways than one in the realm of strange. >.>

It's really a complex city, the way I think of it, with the various organs functioning to provide the necessary means for the whole to survive. It's really interesting to know about all the things that it can do, because...well, we haven't really learned all of it, and it would be good to learn about the ones actually known to science in order to advance, roight?

It's just the maintenance of the body that really gets me. It's really hard to maintain everything and working just right, because eventually we get some sort of horrifying disease and we have little time to react to it.

Yar, we need to find ways to cure stuff like cancer and AIDS.

Reanimating the dead? I thought that was cryogenics was for originally. xD
...and I'm still unsure. >.>
Well, it's a reassurance for people who want to live again centuries after ours, but I'm not going to be one of them.
There could be a better life after this one, y'know.

Well I am certain of one thing, I want to live through all eternity as a human...

Though I fear immortality at the same time...what if I get bored of eternal life?

Well, if the universe keeps existing for eternity, there's nothing to be bored about for it changes constantly...well, I hope. >.>

Imagine how your body would adapt and cope with the different conditions present on various worlds, if what you mean by being immortal means being existent physically as a human?

Yes, what I mean by immortality is being physically alive (like I am right now) through all eternity without fearing death or diseases.


But I would hate to leave my friends behind...surviving my own generation and living on through centuries...it would be quite lonely...and I don't think even I could bear to be that alone...

The human body really is a work of art. A masterpeice, if you will. But most of all is the brain. It has the power to shut down parts of the body. It has the power to heighten the senses. It has the power to control itself. However the brain is not perfect. It cannot "fix" itself if something goes wrong. If it could then you could say that the human species was almost perfect. But nothing in this world is perfect. We have diseases that rot the skin and the mind. We have disorders that cloud the brain and its functions. I am not against cloning, or stem cell research, or DNA modifications. I think anything that humans could do to better the species is one step closer to becoming perfect.
