What really bakes my noodle is that our lungs are more meant to expel CO2 than inhale O2. I even had my great doctor talking about my heart slamming because I was low on blood, therefore O2. I never argue with docs, but we don’t have oxygen sensors, only “holy shit that’s too much carbon dioxide!” sensors.
I mean biologically speaking, having to breath and eat from the same hole is pretty annoying. We need to bioengineer humanity away from this entire active respiratory system nonsense.

I’m tired of being a damn gas exchange /s
Edits: some typos
Eventually you’ll stop exchanging and just switch to releasing !
Yeah I remember thinking this was why oxygen is the most humane way to perform assisted suicides.
Always a devisive topic but for a persons body to not know it is about fall asleep and die… Just seemed a logical starting point.
