Eldorado Posted March 14, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2020 "When amputee Shreya Siddanagowda was offered new hands, the Indian student did not hesitate - even though they were big, dark and hairy, and once belonged to a man. "Now, her new hands have not only become more slender but also changed colour to match her skin tone, mystifying the doctors who carried out the 13-hour transplant. ""The donor was a tall man with big spindly fingers," said Ms Siddanagowda's mother, Suma. ""Now nobody can make out that they are a man's hands... She has even started wearing jewellery and nail varnish.""

quiXilver Posted March 15, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2020 We are not static nouns. We are flowing verbs. Just as the water in a whirlpool is ever changing, yet the pattern of the whirlpool holds its form; so our form is always flowing with new material and excising old material in a constant flow... We are all of us... unfolding verbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted March 17, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2020 that is logical, every cell in our body has information on every other cell in our body. cells do affect each other. cells know what our body should be like, (that is why we heal), some internal and external factors prevent it sometimes, hence chronic diseases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
