Are your cells afraid of death?

why does it interest you ?

They are, but I am not.

probably. it is these emotions that provide the impetus to keep living...i imagine it is scary for all things to know existence on this plane is fleeting...hence the invention of religion amongst our species. 5 stars good question!

We begin life as a single cell. That cell multiplies into the billions - if not trillions - to become a human being. If that single cell - or any single cell - is not afraid of death, then generally speaking, why does the conglomerate whole being become afraid of death? If your thoughts and the essence of what makes you "you" originates in your brain, from the single cells that compose your brain, then does the death of a single brain cell as a representative essence of a small part of you go to heaven or hell? If half of your brain were killed in a stroke, would that half's soul depart to heaven or hell? If it's a synergistic effect here, then perhaps an individual's soul does not rest in our individual cells, but either doesn't exist or exists apart from our cells. It's those comparison concepts I am interested in. OP

Best Thread Ever!

YOU JUST FLIPPED ME OUT...

Most accept their fate, but there are a few "bad apples." That's where cancer comes from, cells that refuse to die and bond together.
