The human body is an incredibly complex and amazing structure. At best, it is a source of strength, beauty, and wonder. We can compare the healthy body to a well-designed machine whose parts work smoothly together. We can also compare it to a symphony orchestra in which each instrument has a different part to play. When all of the musicians play together, they produce beautiful music.
The fact that this book is not a living organism should not be much of a surprise to anyone over the age of five. But how do we know that it is an inanimate object? The scientific community has developed a list of characteristics that can be used to determine if an object is truly alive. One of those characteristics is its ability to reproduce, thus ensuring the continued existence of the organisms population. Although this book was reproduced many times on a printing press, the book itself has no self-regulating mechanism for reproducing its own pages. However, all living organisms, from a single-celled amoeba to a 72 trillion-celled human, have an innate drive—not simply a desire—to reproduce. Drive is something that must at least be tried, if not accomplished.
So, read this book to see how it works.
