It's so delicate, too. Drop the squishy pink thing and its ancillary support-meat on a random part of Earth and most likely it drowns in an ocean, freezes on a mountainside, dries out in a desert, or starves in a wasteland.
That's leaving aside the other 99.99999999% of the universe where it chokes on vacuum or is blasted by radiation.
And even in a perfect habitat with an ideal genotype and phenotype, its functional lifetime is a mere century bookended by billions of years of nonexistence.
