Just to spur this question on a bit, I know from my limited knowledge that cells can kill themselves when a mutation has occurred. But that’s also a sort of biochemical reaction. To be honest, what is truly self-determining? Is it simply a property of the nervous system? My thoughts are leading in that direction to be honest.
