Do you need your appendix?
The most obvious answer is no; millions of people have had their appendix removed without ill effects. Darwin suggested that the appendix is a leftover from when our ancestors used to digest leaves. Recently, it's been suggested that the appendix is used to keep bacteria that keep the colon in good order, however it doesn't seem to cause a problem to have it removed. Given that it's seems largely useless and a burst appendix used to be a fatal disorder, one might ask why it's survived at all. One theory is that a smaller appendix is more prone to bursting so it's reached a sort of happy medium value.
