Hey Doug. Chose Rabies, eh? Well, for the record, my disease kicks your diseases butt :P
Any who, Homeostasis is the bodies ability to maintain a relative balance due to external stimuli.
Listed under the systems is "Cardiac Failure," or Heart failure, which is directly related to the Cardiovascular System.
Last time I checked, having your heart not pumping blood is a bad thing.
Well along the lines of Not Mr. Hong I'd have to say that respiratory failure (not breathing) is another sure fire way to die.
