First, "decades" is what? Three decades? That is NOT a lot of time, specially considering the technology only STARTED to become available during the eighties. Second, the idea that changing all the cells in the body is necessary for a successful improvement of the human body through genetic manipulation (mutation, if you want) is, essentially speaking, incorrect. In fact, FDA is expect to APPROVE FOR USE a drug which HAS BEEN TESTED WITH UNHEARD-OF RESULTS attacking cancer by changing cells of only one organ of the body, which effectively modifying the behavior of the body biodefenses. > Now, I would appreciate it if people would try hard to understand what I'm > saying here.

That is false. -- Daniel C. Sobral (8-DCS) d...@newsguy.com Make me sad. Make me mad. Make me feel alright?
