Hey you! You there!
leave me alone!
Tell me, why have we become whiskers?
good question!
At least we have not become armpit hair!
They smell!
My God, what could we have become!
Eyes!
Lips!
Tongue! I would have become a tongue!
You are always so gross.
For these whiskers it is already too late.
But there are cells that still have all options open:
stem cells
look!
these have the option to develop into
nerve cells,
They made it!
blood cells,
cool!
adipose cells
Yuck! being a whisker is not so bad after all!
and all the other cells that make up a human being.
Every human has grown from a single stem cell.
from a single cell?
The cell splits
and those two split again
and those split again
and so forth
he'll be talking of us in a minute
and the cells get more and more specialized
spezialized! that's us!
until a whole human is finished
as finished as this one there
finished and wasted
Look! Those poor liver cells!
Even grown ups have stem cells.
A whole human cannot be grown from these
but the body needs them for
healing wounds and bone fractures.
well, what exactly could we have become when we were still stem cells?
eyes, kidneys, heart, liver,
hair, skin, nerve cells, Thrombocytes
Lycocytes, Erythrocytes, Lymphocytes
Granulocytes, ... blah... blah...
ouch!
and ingrown toenails
(could have become an opera singer)
(could have become a Rock Star)
(Princess!)
(Astronaut!)
Have you made a wish?
yes
me too
what we could have been...
