Do you know what is the use of your appendix?

i've got mine intact anyway.

I've also believed that if it's there, it's there for a purpose so leave it alone.

there has always been talk that it has a purpose, maybe it does, I would rather not know about it.

No, that wasn't the purpose of yours but obviously if you have appendicitis then it needs to be attended to but some doctors remove it as a matter of routine liked during my childhood it was routine to remove the tonsils.

It would be an interesting study see how the immune system has been affected between those who still have their appendix and those who don't.

Doctors and Scientists claimed it was pointless. . Yet .. they kept funding researches to find its purpose..

"We Don't know at this time " would have saved tons of time , money and embarrassment.

It rather originates from the fact that analogous organs from related animals serve a primary function that is rendered obsolete in humans. It is more likely that this function of the appendix as a lymph node is a rather recent evolutionary appendage.
