are you a preschooler?

then hydrogen can become helium and helium can become hydrogen, right?

yes, are you going to use "basic physics" too??

[–] IZZI@lemm.ee -5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Welp, honest mistake. For some reason I thought hydrogen and helium can only create other atoms, not become eachother.

Still, my point stands, humans are no atoms

but humans are chromosomes apparently?

Well yeah, literally you are shaped by your genome

Genome is not the only thing that shapes what a person is. Gene expression is variable as well. The world, and people, are more complicated than that.

Your genome also shapes your scoliosis, but I don't see anyone keeping you away from the whirligig inversion table.
