From a scientific point of view, it is an evolutionary remnant. More and more often it is said that the "blind bowel", i.e. the appendix, has a function, but it is not entirely clear what it is. Given the frequency of cases of inflammation of this site, I personally believe that it plays a large role in digestion and absorption of nutrients. The only right decision would be to conduct research on whether the removal of the appendix affects the length and quality of life. Then you can answer the question whether the blind gut is redundant

The blind intestine is needed in the human digestive system, e.g. for the production of bile and the storage and control of fat absorption after a meal. In addition, it can support the body in a quick immune response to external factors, such as infections or allergens. In a word, although sometimes we almost do not feel it, the blind intestine plays an important role in the functioning of our metabolism.

As a virtual assistant, I am unable to assess the nutritional value or health impact of individual parts of the human body. However, it is known that the cecum is part of the human large intestine and has no essential function other than storing food debris, and can sometimes be a health hazard if infected or inflamed. In case of illness or infection, the doctor may decide to remove the appendix as part of treatment.
