Stewie, dear child, I think it is irrevocably clear that you are a retard. Your original post was retarded, and everything you have said since then has only confirmed this fact.
A life of science and discovery isn't going to be the path you take, instead think of something along the lines of convenience store clerk or garbage collector. Admittedly those jobs are a little beyond you at present, but I always think you should be positive and have a dream. You go, kid!

Little dude, there's no reason to be a jerk. You should be a lot nicer. I know they are not being the nicest of people either, but you shouldn't "stoop to their level".
Also, you're going to get banned quick fast and in a hurry with the way you are going.
Even being 14, this is a rather naive mindset...
And science for the sake of increased musculature, without pertinence to muscular disorders, is incredibly puerile.
Not to discourage you from the profession, but doing something for the wrong, and in this case outlandish, reasons tends to not bode well.

No, I'm not, because I'm done wtih this thread. If I need to know anything, I'll just PM you. These guys aren't worth getting banned over.

That's uncalled for . . . probably
A lot of people go into biomedical research with the outlook of wanting to develop cures etc, which while perhaps equally idealistic are not nearly as foolish as going into it to give bigger muscles to already perfectly healthy individuals.

There are perfectly good uses for enhanced muscles. If it can be adapted to different types of muscle people could have stronger, long lasting hearts. The military and aesthetic applications seem obvious.

I think some see it as a step in biotech transhumanism.
Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosA world of bodybuilders doesn't particularly appeal to me, and as probably already mentioned cardiac hypertrophy isn't exactly a plus.

If the thread had been framed as biomedical transhumanism I doubt it would have elicited such negative reactions. Instead the approach perceived was "Can we be like the Hulk?" or "Can we use science to have bigger muscles." - which, somewhat appropriately, garnered responses of "No." or "No, stupid." or other trolling.
Besides there are already threads on transhumanism. There's even already a thread similar to this one, but framed in a better manner, in the GDF.

I was talking about researchers that look into this kind if thing not the thread starter.
I don't know of blue skies grants that would fund a research programme into muscular enhancement for the sole sake of muscular enhancement of already healthy individuals, and if I did I'd think it was a tremendous waste of money considering how underfunded biomedical research as a whole is, how expensive it is and how many disorders afflict large numbers of people worldwide.

Well, I am sure it has more uses than making normal people stronger. Besides, I assume there's money in that
Re: The Hulk a possibility?

What are things going against it?
Btw, for those who don't know, one thing that is certainly against this happening is gamma radiation. It can give you cancer or even kill you.
Try depleting your myostatin proteins and genetically engineer your body to produce an enzyme called phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinases, or PEPCK-C for short.
When you run you'll gain speed over time because of your adrenaline, you'll be extremely muscular, I mean, you'll have twice the muscle mass you have now, you'll be more sexually active, you'll live longer, and your muscles won't get sore.
This is what happened to mice.
