2.  Which term, noxious, or toxic implies more harm?

     toxic

13. Is electricity matter only?

     I would answer No.  Matter has mass (I think).  Electricity involves the movement of electrons.

I worded it in such a way that a simple yes or no answered the question and my error was in thinking about a more complex answer.

Marilyne, I didn't know that about the liver! For some reason, I was thinking the brain.

That must be why they say you can get by with only a partial one, (liver).

Patricia - friends of ours had a new baby who was born with a defective liver.  It was beginning to fail, so the hospital performed a partial transplant.  (I don't remember anything about the donor?) The baby's liver rejuvenated, and she went on to live a normal life.  This was back in the 1970's, so I would guess that the surgery is even more perfected now.  Remember the actor Larry Hagman? ("Dallas") He also had some sort of partial liver transplant, as did one of the men from the rock group, "Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young".  I think it was Crosby?

That makes sense, thanks for that info! My daughter died in 1991 due to a benign brain tumor and recently a good friend's great-grandson died of a weak heart only a few months after birth, so we have a long way to go as yet.

My maternal aunt and uncle were under suspicion in 1951 when their baby died of SDS so medicine and attitudes don't always work as fast or as well as we would like.
