      How would you feel if parasites killed someone you loved? Or affected their brain so they could no longer think? What if your child had one that caused dementia type symptoms but didn't die, so the child didn't grow & the brain never developed so they are like a 4 yr old for the rest of their life? How would you feel spiritually then?
      I ask because I am spiritual as well, & I'd like to know how you handle trauma/grief/loss as a spiritual person. Much Love

    • @supercooled
      @supercooled 8 лет назад +5

      just the diversity of biology. if you think about very own reproductive system it can be pretty gross too. a male pent rates a female then injects her with seeds to make a baby grow inside her then 9 months later this thing called a human baby forces it's way out of her pretty much. pretty gross right?

    • @Tokuijin
      @Tokuijin 8 лет назад +9

      +supercooled Yes, bodily functions are gross, obviously, however, gross, they are fascinating just like in this vid.
      The parasites are gross, certainly, but, as part of an ecosystem and nature, they are fascinating.
