Although my reasoning will not convince most of you, here was my take on why I submitted this image:


I'll be the first to admit that my entry is an extreme stretch and completely understand the fact that creating life is a biological/chemical process.

But when we look at it in its simplest form, the creation of life is no different than building a car. Regardless of where human life is being created, whether a person has access to all the marvels of medical technology or a person in a third world country with access to nothing, their bodies will go through the same structured process of creating a life. Steps must be followed prior to moving onto the next stage, just like an assembly line at Ford or GM or any other manufacturer. Generally speaking, you cannot proceed unless a specific process is followed.

Mechanical can be defined as "Operated or produced by a mechanism or machine." Mechanism can be defined as “the arrangement or relation of the parts of anything as adapted to produce an effect.”

What greater mechanism/machine exists in this world other than the human body…absolutely nothing!!!!

Thus my entry.

It was interesting to see that those that could at least acknowledge the thought of using the human body as a machine were all fairly new members, while some seasoned DPC veterans struggled and simply discounted the image.

Thanks for all your comments. If I had to do it all over again…I would have still entered this image but without the ridiculous border! ;o)
