Do plants have a soul?

I was just preparing all my stuff to move to Vegas when I was thinking about some VERY DRAMATIC THINGS I saw in the "Plants" episode of Life that Regina gave me (thanks Secret Santa!) Plants are pretty awesome. Especially the fact that there are carnivorous plants!

Now follow me if you will, to ponder what kinds of things have souls? Living things, riight? Well then if that's the case, then shouldn't plants have souls? Most of them live to worship the sun, spreading their CRAAAAZY prayer leaves out in every direction. Still others are evil, like Venus fly traps eating insects to absorb their souls. Maybe it would be acceptable to eat carnivorous plants, if only we could get them to be delicious and fruit bearing. I mean, why not experiment a little more with the tree of life? Plants are just our distant cousins!



well what i'm proposing is further evil science with this plants section to produce





What if a soul is just that mysterious additional quantity that appears when the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts? We're all made up of tiny cells, that appear to have a will all their own, to reproduce and thrive, yet when they come together they serve an entirely different purpose all together. Maybe that's what our soul is, our will to live.
