I've hospiced plenty of folks right until they've passed and that feeling of missing comes sooner than clinical death, I'll tell you. Once someone's respiration rate drops low enough and their pulse and BP are undetectable, and the blood starts pooling, you'll have a very hard time differentiating them from a body without a stethoscope and time. Clinically dead folks do tend to become a job to deal with and aren't something that register as people, though you still feel the need to be respectful.

You have to decide if you have a duty to follow licensing agreements or not. Most folks here do not believe they do.

Yeah that's not a weaned cat. That kitten needs 24 hour care to survive. And even then, it's iffy.

Many minerals that are quite essential are used by other organisms so we get it that way, but that doesn't mean we have to. A good example is iron. Rust isn't a bioavailable form of iron compared to what you'd get from plants and animals, but you could eat rust and make some of the iron in it ferric chloride that you could then use for making hemoglobin. It's just not very efficient. What you can't do is get energy from inorganic molecules. We can only get energy from things on the citric acid cycle(or are made up of components of it), alcohols, sugars, fats, and proteins.

Mályva is closer to the original latin Malva than even most romance languages do.

So it's not using the idea of "mauve" as in the color in the name but instead the idea of "mallow/malva" as in the plant. In english those ended up being two different words with the same root. The mistletoe actually was originally refering to hibiscus in the latin, but changed. Origin of the confectuary from the marsh mallow plant comes from Ancient Egypt, so this is actually all descended from Latin/Greek

Cognate with "Mallow hibiscus". It's all the swamp flower in the end. The marshmallow plant sap was originally used to make them.
