Paragraph 1
A
-provoking study from
in the USA has suggested a "third state" that exists after life and death. This somewhat mind-
concept posits a phenomenon in which the cells in the
of a deceased body adopt new functions after the body dies. Biologist Peter Nobel and
researcher Alex Pozhitkov explained how cells transform after their
organism dies. The scientists wrote: "These
demonstrate the inherent plasticity of cellular systems and challenge the
that cells and organisms can evolve only in predetermined ways." They added: "The third state suggests that
death may play a significant role in how life transforms over
."
