Chai Nosei Et Atzmo

Chai Nosei Et Atzmo (also transliterated as Chai Nosei Es Atzmo) is a Hebrew term meaning "a living thing carries itself". It is a concept in the field of Muktzeh, specifically an exception to the general rule that one cannot carry an object from a private domain into the public domain on the Sabbath. There is a debate between the Sages and Rabbi Natan over whether this rule applies only to humans, or to all animals.[1]

Physiological Scholarship

There is scientific weight behind the idea that a body feels lighter when conscious,[2] due to the person's ability to distribute weight evenly. It has been suggested that this is the source of the phrase "dead weight".
