      I find the body in general fascinating because it’s so unbelievably complex. It’s amazing that the body can do all the things it can do. Like, if you eat something, that’s it, unless it was particularly yummy or particularly nauseating, you probably wouldn’t think about it again, but the body sorts it all out for you without you telling it to – it moves it through your gut, digests it, gets energy out of it, and transports that energy around your body!

      That’s one interesting thing, but obviously I’m gonna say the most interesting thing is pregnancy and labour. When you really think about it, a baby growing from one cell inside another person is absolutely amazing, but I’m most interested in how it (or the mother’s body) knows when it’s time to come out!
