If I had a choice, I would have kept mine, but being only 9 days old at the time, nobody would listen to me :-)

Lol, that seems true for a lot of people whose appendix was removed at an early age. Must say I am "lucky" I still have them :)
Thanks.

Thats really interesting. I had heard it was redundant organ but I always assumed it must have a use or why would we have it.

I accept the findings of this study.

As this study has based their finding on evolutionary trends, I too feel it would not have been there unless it had a role.
Thanks!

Interesting. Unfortunately, mine is gone for some time already, after some necessary surgery.

Very informative man! Keep sharing!
