But yeah, we would all dissolve into a pile of goo, since the lipid bilayer of the cells would lose their hydrophile component, probably leading to something similar to soapification, and even if that doesn’t kill us, our DNA would degrade in an instant, since oxygen is the binding element between the phosphor atoms which hold the nucleotides together.
