How much does a taste bud transplant cost?
How many things we pass off as common or do so automatically that we do not realize the importance they have or the pleasure they can give us.
Regards steemitnaut appreciated. A writing more about those things for which we must remain in an attitude of gratitude.

Who has not felt the satisfaction of taking a sip of water after being under the inclement sun or after a long day at the beach.
Once at a meeting in which he participated, the speaker asked us how much a taste bud transplant could cost. Each of those present was pronouncing an amount, each higher than the other. Some compared to wrecks from other transplant operations or how complicated an operation of this magnitude could be. After long expositions and many arguments, the speaker said that this operation had no price, because that operation was not done, it was impossible to replace each one of the taste buds and that the lack of them or lack of them would cause a very complicated for the person, since he could not taste anything, much less could produce the saliva that is necessary to keep the oral cavity moist and start the digestive process.
He said he knew a case, and that the person who suffered it, had to be with a spray, moistening the oral cavity, because the papillae did not produce saliva and the mouth was dry, having to maintain moisture mechanically.
Considering this reality made us consider two situations.
On the one hand, the value of the human being was enhanced, because we are a perfect machine. And many of our members or bodies are irreplaceable and irreplaceable, which gives us a value that exceeds the monetary value of anything or that can be acquired with money.
On the other hand, the gratitude we must have for everything we have, for our body, for our being. Because each organ, because each element that makes up our body is a gift, with infinite value and that should be appreciated.

Thank you MY BODY, thank you MY GENES, thank you MY LIFE.
