Blood is such a vital component in our social life. The bloodline of a person can define who he is, where he came from (for some people)? My flesh and blood..defines your family. Blood-traitor is a person in the family who betrays the family. The temperature(hot or cold), color(red or white) and thickness of blood can tell you about someone's personality. And to think that the organ that pumps all this blood in you is your Heart. So when you give someone your heart, you give away a very vital organ which is not only necessary for your survival but also defines you. You can't survive once heart stops working..
On the other hand, you can be brain-dead and still be breathing. A vegetative survival, but technically alive. Vegetative because, the brain controls everything you are and not everything that defines you. Your emotions, your feelings, your memories, your experiences, your cognitive thinking...everything that is you. Giving someone your brain will be same as giving yourself. But we prefer to give our hearts, that is our life but not ourselves. hmmm..interesting, no?
but hows it that once u give ur heart ur brain stops working...??????!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous/BFF: There are frantics who would rather die than compromise their principle. They don't want a heart if their brain isn't allowed to exist. Brain can't exist without a heart but is existence without a brain worthwhile?
ReplyDeleteYou don't have a choice if your heart stops and you die but if your brain isn't allowed to exist you make that choice voluntarily. Who is more powerful then: Heart or brain?
