On living...

I know that I am alive because of how my body reacts to certain stimuli. In my ever changing environment, the simple yet complex responses tell me I am most certaintly alive. From bodily reactions to weather changes to long-term memory function, they both demonstrate just how much each system needs the other for survival. I could perform the necessary functions and be a walking veggie, but without others, I wouldn't get very far.

  1. I think you bring up a great point on the complex reaction of our system to show that we are alive. I also like how you discussed the points of dependency of our system to keep surviving/living. Great points Lauren!
