Where are the Borders of a Human Body?
By Davorin Sadar of Markssin
Where the human stops and his surroundings begin? This simple question does in fact have no simple answer. When does the air we breathe become a part of our bodies and when does it stop being our body? When it enters the mouth? When it passes our throat on its way to our lungs? When the oxygen molecules take a ride on erythrocytes (majority of them toward the brain) or when they embrace the carbon atoms in the fire, to form carbon dioxide that we will exhale? When does a glass of water become a part of our body and when does it stop being a part of our body? When we take it to the mouth? When it passes trough our throat? When it enters the stomach? When it starts performing its delivery function in the body? When it starts performing its lubrication function between the moving body parts? When it becomes a means of signalization? When it starts performing cooling function to exit evaporating trough the skin? When it starts performing liquid waste disposal function to exit as urine or other excreta? When does a candy or a steak become a part of our body? When we take it into our hands or when we put it in our mouths? When it goes down the throat or when it enters the stomach? When it is converted into simple sugars and carried trough our delivery system to the fire, where it is used as firewood? When it emits energy for energy consuming functions of human body like moving causing its surroundings to warm up by excess heat? It may, though, be used as building material and stored firewood (i.e. fat) but this is just a delayed action. When does the unused food (that we do not really know if and when it became a part of our bodies) stop being part of our bodies? When it exits the stomach or when it travels through intestines? When we defecate, do we part with a part of our bodies? Animals can smell human hundreds of feet away. Snakes can feel our warmth at a distance. Processes continuing in our bodies are no soundless and they can be heard over a distance. We are exchanging large portions of what we perceive as our bodies with its environment all the time. Thinking about all said above we can much better understand what John Donne had in mind when reciting: “No man is an island entire in itself. Everyone is a part of a continent. So never send to know for whom the bell tolls - it tolls for the.” A man is a thinking fire, supported by earth, regulated by water, leaving his signature in the air.
