Excerpt from The Object of Animal Existence
So far as we know animals are conscious automata. - huxley.
As the result of scientific investigation, the conclusion has been reached that the animal organism is a machine, the operation of which is in accordance with the specific nature of its materials and the mechanical arrangements of its parts. We may therefore postulate, that the general laws which are applicable to the analogous correlated elements of inanimate machines, are also applicable to the corre sponding correlated elements of the animal organism.
