@goinghomesteadily: Replying to @volvabyblood just because an organisme cannot sustain itself doesn't mean it's not alive. Being able to live independently is not actually a biological requirement of a living thing. I've taught biology at the HS and College level for 15 years. I also have twins that were born at 26 weeks gestation. They were very much alive, despite needing heat and oxygen and feeding tubes. Can a newborn survive without help? What about someone who is profoundly disabled? What about someone who's 90 and on oxygen? Someone on bypass and a ventilation for surgery? The biological requirements for loving things are: DNA✅️ Growth and Development ✅️ Organized Structure ✅️ Reproduction ✅️ Adaptability ✅️ Cells ✅️ Require Energy ✅️ #ChristianTiktok #biology #prochoice #prolife #alllivesmatter
