Why? It is the ultimate expression of cellular freedom: as individual cells go into metastasis they overthrow the bio-fascist dictates of the organism and open up new possibilities. It is the epitome of cellular self-determination. Forget redemption and freedom at the body level, forget anarchism and anti-statism at the organ level - demand autonomy for every individual living cell.

It's nature's way of saying "Stop having so much sex, you people are killing me."

Ebola's a much faster and more efficient way to do that. Probably nastier too.

You should set up a civil rights movement for cancer cells. Cause doctors tend to try and murder them. We should put an end to this sanctioned genocide.

Wow.

I never looked at it from that point of view before.

I'd like to keep my body a democracy thank you very much.

A democracy where the secret police are given free reign to dispose of those who dare to step an inch out of line?

White blood cells are far from secret. Those terrrorist bacteria and viruses know what they're getting into by stepping foot into my body. God damn parasites...

White blood cells also come in at night and torture and kill innocent civilians who are too old or sick.

The parallel can be drawn between the effects of AIDS on the human body and Mao's statement “let a thousand flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend" - the organic substance of the flesh is no longer driven solely by the evolutionary imperative to pass on undamaged genetic material, instead it becomes a garden for a thousand flowers of conflicting biological demand and cellular desire. No longer does the capitalistic drive to pass inheritance to offspring sit centre stage, it is usurped by the manifold creations and demands of a hundred schools of subcellular creativity which care little for posterity but seek to blossom in the present.

I wasn't thinking in terms of cancer. There are obvious inherent flaws (genetics) with the system (human body) and it is the job of the secret police's (white blood cells) job to eliminate those threats to the body. It's a shame that the police can't do it on their own and have to ask for foreign aid (medicine.)

"inherent flaws" = Kurds

"secret police" = Iraqi army

"medicine "= poison gas (WMDs)

"medicine"... radiological and chemical weaponry... WMDs?

Honestly who are you allied with: the system or the threat? I doubt you would like to be a host to cancer.

No, indeed not, nor do I intend to cause offense to anyone by my postings here.

I find it interesting to imagine myself part of the threat as an argument against the old philosophical idea called the organic theory of the state, which views the state or nation as a single living entity and applies the same ethical principles to its constituent parts as would be applied to a single living organism that had contracted an illness or other internal malaise. The organic theory of the stae is basically a short cut towards legitimising authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, be they fascist or stalinist or anything in between - if a part displays sickness or weakness it must be destroyed for the good of the whole.

My body may be fascist, but at least it's healthy :-)
