Well, my instinct is to say that most of not all organs are crucial to your health. I mean, they exist because they do something, right?

Perhaps not all organs, feel free to keep trimming your toenails.

Once your toenails hit 1/2 the length of your tibia your body switches to generating the enzyme that repairs your dna for effective immortal life.

I mean, it's always good to have research to back up common sense (common sense isn't common... or sensical), but seriously? Maybe? It's where your T cells (IT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED T CELLS, GODDAMNIT!) develop, of COURSE it's critical to health.
