Sometimes it's not easy to see if something is well designed or performs well, especially if we are familiar with it. The human body is one of these things. The culminating masterpiece of the most skilled designer of all time, we take our bodies' amazing design for granted. Nothing brings this into relief more than when the design breaks down, sometimes horrifically. We live in a failing, diseased world. The design is falling into entropy and will continue until it utterly fails. I think this video shows one aspect of that.

Thankfully, this man is being helped by western doctors and may be able to live a relatively normal life. But what they've found is that it was the man's genetics that allowed this. The fundamental blueprint of his body broke down.
Not all conditions are this dramatic. But whether it's growing tree branches on your skin or a cancer that eats you from the inside out, one can see entropy in our own bodies- evidence of a failing world in spite of it's original design.
