[edit] Auto-destruct sequence

Programmed cell death says the organelles are destroyed "in a specific sequence", and I want to know what it is. —Keenan Pepper 04:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from Self-cannibalism?

Since this is basically the same thing as self-cannibalism, and the article even says so, why not merge the two? Wikipedia's not a dictionary. Trappleton 08:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Oppose - Autophagy, in medical terminology, refers to a specific form of cell death. The term is synonymous with self-cannibalism only in general usage. These are two distinct phenomena that deserve seperate articles. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 08:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. Two different things, two different articles. —Keenan Pepper 09:35, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. - The two are entirely distinct topics, which therefore justifies separate wikipedia entries. I find the fact that the issue is even up for discussion rather surprising. Sober Disposition 22:15, 29 August 2006
