News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2971]
Why is it a good question? We could grow an endless amount of any type of cell in a lab. It's a completely pointless question. I don't even understand why it's being asked to be honest.
Why are we attempting to draw parallels between the human brain to that of a fruit fly?
Why are we trying to compare a small functioning brain of a completely different animal to a quite frankly small number of human brain cells which are completely non-functional? Are we going to start counting heart cells in petri dishes?
A fully developed human brain contains 100 billion FUNCTIONING neurons. WTF have fruit flies got to do with it?
A bunch of cells does or the number of them does not equate to life. Its the interaction which they have with other cells and in turn the outside world which is important.
Ridiculous.
Babies are born with all the brain cells theye are going to have, the same number as an adult.
A fully developed fruit fly's brain contains 0.0001% of the cells of a fully developed human brain (in numbers). But here's the rub..... It's a fruit fly.
