I really like the premise of this. This happens to me all of the time. I am doing something, and then it's as if I wake up and think WTF? WTF is this all about?

The other day it happened when I was looking at some brain tumor cells in a microscope: All of the sudden it hit me how crazy it was what I was doing. Here are these ridiculously amazing self-replicating lipid bags, and they are growing in a plastic flask because I am soaking them in nutrients (which includes fetal cow serum)! And they came from another preson's brain 20 years ago. I am a human, looking at cancer cells from a dead human, and all the other humans pitch in a little bit so I can try to figure out to stop them from killing humans.
