I was at the beach today thinking I’m basically just a slab of meat in the sun. How come I don’t rot? What prevents living things from decomposing and how does that change when we die?
In: Biology
Actually, you ARE rotting. Your immune system is fighting the microbes currently trying to rot you, and the rest of your body is busy regenerating what little success these microbes have.
No heartbeat = no immune system = no nutrients coming to cells to allow reproduction and repair
