Extract

I'm happy to report that I agree wholeheartedly with Roger Masters that we humans have a biological rather than a socially constructed need for water. In fact, Prof. Masters and I are so much in agreement on this point that I don't feel it necessary to consult “the literature on mammalian biological needs” as he suggests. As a mammal myself, I firmly believe that I would die were I denied water for a sufficient length of time, though I plan on keeping this an untested hypothesis.
