a plant cant WANT to live, since you cant have desires, hopes, and dreams without a brain. Plants are just a collection of cells that act off its pre-built "instinct" to grow and become the form that we all recognize it as. A venus flytrap doesn't respond to touch because a brain is sensing it, it responds to touch sort of as a reflexive spasm that it evolved to use as a way of recieving nutrients. A venus flytrap has no DESIRE to eat, it just happens that the ones that eat are the ones that are able to produce future generations of that breed of plant.

The only difference between a live plant and a dead plant is the services (or lack thereof) they provide to animals

Now what's pathetic are vegans......
What do they think they had for nutrients when they were a baby? Yeah, just think about that......
