Would you be disgusted at a dare to drink a liter of saliva from a mystery donor? That’s disgusting, because we’re instinctually averse to things that could make us sick.
Yet we drink one liter of our own saliva every day, but we’re used to it so it doesn’t make us sick. It’s normal but still kinda gross.
My point is, bodies do a lot of gross things, and our instincts usually squirm at the gross things other bodies do, but we have made peace with our own. It’s gross, but we don’t hate it, it’s doing the best it can to stay alive.
