Ever looked at plant parts through a microscope? The cells and cell structures are highly organized, not really more or less then humans, just different.
They are plants, Not even animals... If you look to a DVD true a microscope, you wil find a complex structure as welll...
In response to, Vegetarians have reasons for why they don't eat meat (Dec. 8), perhaps Mr. Zufall should update his research before claiming that vegetables and plants are incapable of feeling pain and not subject to his scruples regarding eating sentient beings. Researchers from Michigan State University have discovered that plants have a rudimentary nerve structure, which allows them to feel pain. According to the peer-reviewed journal Plant Physiology, plants are capable of identifying danger, signaling that danger to other plants and marshaling defenses against perceived threats. According to botanist Bill Williams of the Helvetica Institute, "plants not only seem to be aware and to feel pain, they can even communicate." This research has prompted the Swiss government to pass the first-ever Plant Bill of Rights. It concludes that plants have moral and legal protections, and Swiss citizens have to treat them appropriately. lazer lipoliz saç ekimi burun estetiği The Penn State Vegetarians Club would do well to investigate this data before claiming to be superior to those of us who do not subscribe to the idea that eating meat is morally wrong.
Hello, plants do not have a brain. Do you believe everything you read on the web? I don't believe the Helvetica Institute even exists.
"Plants feel, think, speak and respond to us! To open your understanding still further, wonderful information about plants was discovered by Cleve Backster who, while working on machines as lie detectors, carried out research on the sensitivity of plants and discovered some amazing, irrefutable facts. On the video link below you can see his research. He found that plants not only demonstrate a response (as recorded on an electrical graph) to the moment of pain of another plant or of a human being in the vicinity, but they can also sense the moment of intention to inflict the pain-causing action on both plant and human! Cleve Backster refers to this as ‘Primary Perception’ of the plant. This ‘Primary Perception’ is also shown by Backster’s research with the simplest plant life of bacteria in yogurt. His questions were: does the simple life form in the yogurt have feelings? How wide is the gulf between man and plants – if there is a gulf at all? His conclusion: that even the simplest living things have feelings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntv4ZMvUSWI"]Cleve Baxter - Plants can sense human intentions - YouTube The book, The Secret Life of Plants, references Cleve Backster’s work" http://orgoniterocks.com/2011/02/03/the-magic-of-the-words-we-speak/
This seems kind of silly. Lobsters don't even have an advanced enough nervous system to feel pain so i highly doubt that the moss i stepped on yesterday got pissed off. Im not saying its right to destroy plant life unless its absolutely necessary but in all reality plants are an entirely different organism from human beings. They may have chemical signals that allow them to avoid predators, grow away from harm, etc. but without something to interpret those signals like say a bilateral brain there really isn't much else to it.
and can also communicate with each other with these chemicals i think they have feelings and emotions too, can they hear us?
------------------------------------------------------- Harvester - I read an article years ago, about research some scientists that were curious about the same thing you stated: "Do our plants know we are there?" So, in pursuit of that knowledge, the scientists took some house plants into the laboratory and hooked up electronic sensors to the leaves of the plants that would detect activity. The electronic equipment, it said, was capable of registering two kinds of activity; positive & negative. Then, they got two human volunteers and told them the function each was to provide in the experiment. The first human was to enter the laboratory, thinking the thought that it wanted to harm the plant by tearing it's leaves and branches off. As the human did this, the sensors registered sudden,alarming activity on the electronic read-outs hooked up to the sensors. When that human left the room, the plant calmed right down - but the reaction clearly indicated that the plants were sensitive to the human's thoughts of intention to do the plants harm - guess it's a wave thing. The second human entered the room; thinking loving thoughts for the plants, and tended to them and gave them water. The plants registered positive activity; and when the human spoke to the plants and stroked them in a loving manner, the activity detector traveled in the opposite way of the alarming reaction. So, there you have it! I am unable to provide the source for the information, as this was years ago when I read the article, and I cannot recall in what publication I read it - but that's what the article said. I've talked to my plants ever since then, and they sure are healthy! I must admit that I've even gone to the trouble to retrieve a potted plant that I've seen people throw away; more than once; because I couldn't bear to think of the plant's reaction to being thrown into one of those dumpster pick-up trucks; where it would surely be demolished and torn to shreds. Many times, I didn't have the ability to keep the plants that I've retrieved, but I always took them to a friend's house; where I knew the plant would be tended to and given a good home. Probably sounds crazy to some people, but once I learned that about plants, I feel responsible, at some level, to help them if I see them and know they're in a helpless position, sitting inside a dumpster - and knowing I'm now aware of them and can help them, I do so.

Lol! Interesting subject. I do think plants, as living things, obviously have a life force of some kind. Not sure I believe they actually feel emotion the way we do though. Would only scare veggies as far as their animal rights concern, but still there are the huge environmental effects of a meat-based diet (guilty). Still the most eco-smart diet out there.
