Does someone whose nervous system is shot to hell have less 'feelings' than the rest of us? Less physical sensation, yes, but their emotions are intact, and their capacity for distress. I'm inclined to think it's something to do with the extent to which the control systems are centralised. Do you remember there was something written about experiments in this line? Was it in The Secret Life of Plants? I seem to recall something about a scientist burning the leaf of a plant with a cigarette and then the plant was hooked up to electrodes to register its 'reactions'. When the same man entered the room again there was - apparently - a distinct reaction from the plant. I may not be remembering this very clearly but it was along those lines. Is this thread leading to giving up eating food all together? ;-) Just paint yourself green, do your own photosynthesising act and drink mineral waters. Franz |
