Can we Gene-Splice our way to Superhuman Abilities?

Bardock42, do you now see what I mean by the "arbitrary" numbers usually being prime? Remember we talked about this in the GDF before?

That's 509% more ridiculous than most things you say!

Wasn't arbitrary, my response was intentional and calculated, ass.

Damnit, SC, I'm a technician, not a statistician.

Randal: "In a row?"

See, Clerks for further insight.

My bad. I thought you got it from Rain Man at the end when it definitely definitely says highway 37. 😐 Definitely.

on topic...

If you want super human traits like glowing in the dark and being resistant to frost...synthesising your own Vitamin D more efficiently?

Sure you can have those super powers.

What does better using vitamin D have to do with glowing in the dark or resisting frostbite?

I think the real issue is will we be able to give people those powers any time soon without it doing something nasty as a side effect.

Possibly? Are you volunteering?

I mean...having your larynx glow green isn't exactly like...the first body modification on my list.

Wouldn't it be cool when your nipples perked up because of a chill, not only would they stand on end, they would glow.

teehee

unfortunately, localizing that effect to one area of the body upon a specific arousal would be rather difficult.

Uh....

How about no.

Bioluminescence is always on a specific location of the body of the species. I cannot think of one single species that the entire body glows.

If we had the ability to incorporate bl into ourselves, choosing a location to exhibit the feature would come just as easily as making the entire body glow. In fact, it may be more difficult to get the whole body to glow.

There's a colony of mice who where genetically modified with bioluminescent DNA from jellyfish that disagree, they glow from nose to tail.

So you may just have to wait until the the technology progresses before you can just have a glowing anal-ring.

I gotta be a geneticist now. Just think of all the gullible optimists whose kids I'll mess up on!

As rob said, this is false.

However, you didn't ask to just have one part of your body to glow, you asked for your nipples to glow upon arousal. Perhaps I misunderstood this, but there is a drastic difference...

Wasn't there a movie some years back - I think it starred Gary Shandling - about an alien whose private parts glowed when aroused?

Well Cylons have spines that glow when they have sex srug

Battlestar Galactica has changed much since the late 70's.

Newb.

That's GFP. Not bioluminescence.

See what I said, which is why you're both wrong.

And, no, I said "chill", not "upon arousal".

However, I mean both and more. I just want them to glow when they perk up, period. teehee

Green Fluorescent Protein is [a type of] bioluminescence, retard.
