"A living creature" is a low fucking bar.
Bacteria are living creatures. And your body is wired to exterminate them so that they don't eat it alive from the inside. Because the moment those defenses falter, they will do exactly that.
Consider saving your empathy for things that matter.

- ACCount37 2mo agoSome labs made bacteria-free mice for research purposes. They're viable. So "not be able to live" is a stretch. Human body does use some bacteria in the guts, but a lot of those very same bacteria would absolutely try to eat the entire body if its immune defenses ever failed.
- osjdiwjdej 2mo agoWhich is why the body uses those that it finds useful and absolutely murder those that it deems harmful. It’s nature. Just nature. And it’s such a nonsensical discussion to have that the only reason for it to happen at any given time is to satisfy the ego of those saying “nuh-uh!!”.
