[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] Reverend: I didn't mean to suggest anything like intelligent design. I just meant that evolution produced lifeforms which are "supposed" to die; if living things didn't die, there would be no next generation, thus defeating the entire process and ensuring evolution would never exist ;) TSN: Good point; that is more accurate. Although I think the lack of oxygen for a certain prolonged period of time would lead to decay and death, because without the cell receiving energy to carry out cellular processes, all those lovely macromolecules and chemical structures would start to break down through unregulated chemical reactions (only to a point; some molecules are perfectly stable)...but more importantly little nasty buggers would start to eat them. Bacteria, protists, fungi. No immune system, no proteins actively defending the membrane, so on and so forth. But it is a good point - maybe she has some biochemical trick that prevents the reintroduction of oxygen from doing its nasty work. Maybe her body has massive amounts of antioxidants or something.
