Hm.

Well - 26 grams is the supposed weight of a soul, but it is nigh-impossible to get one on a scale at the moment of death. Also, the experiment was heavily flawed.

Amazing the absurd things that scientists try to prove. But what is a soul? A force that animates the body? The force of personality that every individual has? What makes a man, a man?

Then that leads to another question - what truly is a man? A manner of species, Homo Sapien, the ability to wield scalpel and gun equally, with the opposable thumb? Our chords that allow us to sing like birds, growl like dogs, and speak a myriad words to express basic, but overpowering emotions? Or is it our ability to take pleasure in the most vile and debase biological drives?

Or is it the behavior, that even being of the Homo Sapien species that they are not human. But again, what is a human behavior, and what is a beast behavior?

These are things the most brilliant of minds have debated for centuries.

I may not find all the answers, but I shall find the answers that concern me.
