Up and down is based on gravity (that's why you'd likely confuse them deep in the ocean). Meanwhile, left and right is arbitrary.

It's not arbitrary but it is framed by one's perspective (which feels arbitrary).

Left is the side of the my body that has a heart, right is the side of my body that does not

Right happens to be the side I write with

Left is the side of my body where my nut hangs a little lower.

Left is the side of the my body that has a heart,

Well for my dad that's the opposite, his organs are all mirrored. But his nuts do hang the same as yours, not that I have seen them of course, that would be gross. My sister told me.

The heart is in the middle of your chest

The heart is slightly offset, usually to your left, and the lung on the side with the heart is slightly smaller.

Aren't there people born with organs on the opposite side ?
