or is it?

There's something to be said for those psychosomatic impacts that the body has on itself. Things like salivation, blushing, heart beat, hearing your own blood rush in your ears... they make us human and everything that we experience is what ultimately shapes our consciousness. Will people without a heart beat feel compelled to pound a drum? Make love in a crescendo? See red in times of anger?
