    man F those people who created the legislations. Siriously i am aware of the cons genetic mods can bring but people forget that it can really help us improve our health care.

    So are they giving these scientists the permission to start the research? the guy in the article talked about growing an organ in 1 year? how long do you think it will take them to grow hair?

      It is almost done. If I remember well, they already grew human hair on mice, so I guess it must be trivial to do it on pigs also. But this is just a guess needing confirmation.

        They just need to mass produce the hairs on pigs.

          If they even do succeed I ain't eating that pig. No way man. That is some wierd pseudo-cannibalism shit. But guess what will they do with those pigs. Sure some might say those are still pigs, with few more human genes, and keeping human organs inside. I'm still gonna take those organs I just won't eat pork anymore....

          However this is all still in infancy... And too much of wishful thinking from our part.

Sure when chicks are young and good looking they have a lot of power over men, but beauty fades. Men make more money, have more rights, and more freedom in every country in the world.
          I don't think women or men as a particular sex are controlling the world. I do think some men and women have a good influence on the inner workings of the world.
          However if you are a man with power and money I don't think hair is gonna be your problem.
          Take Putin and Berlusconi for example. Their main worries aren't hair related.

            Haha if you said something to Putin about his hair he would probably have you killed in some Siberian death camp, and Berlusconi would probably rape you, lol

              He doesn't seem to realise that not everyone is going to have as much status as those guys. Which is why we need to build value in other ways; looks.

              Essentially it comes down to value and it's a balancing act.

              If you have looks, you can have less value with status. If you have status and vice versa.

The research into it could really be a big thing, but this article makes it seem like they cured cancer, close up shop its solved, lol. Sounds like the next five years story. Sharks don't get cancer either but I guess they're a little more frisky.

                  I will say though I worked in a lab where other researchers were working with naked mole rats and they are about the weirdest damn things I've ever seen, crazy little f*ckers

                    You know what guys?

                    I was thinking. This can make more good things possible:

                    like soldiers who lost limbs, people who got their bodyparts mutilated, penis transplantations.

                    I hope it works

                            Ahahhaha noo man im all happy.
                            But the reason why i asked is because i read an article about some chinese
                            Guy who had an accident with his penis. And the doctors
                            Transplanted a new on but the body rejected it.

                                There are a lot of promising technologies but many are of skeptical of the claims.

                                -Replipenis claims they can increase size. First the take a small "donor" sample, culture it and inject it back in. Their results with humans have been poor but they have managed to give a lot of mice giant members.

                                -Aaaaaderans is a sex toy manufacturer, but they are also working on an eventual similar treatment although there are rumors they are giving up.

                                -Another company is working on what they call "PSC", penile stimulating complex. They claim it works but people have criticized the pictures with one doctor at a recent conference stating, "they aren't exactly producing porn star material." A lot of rumors about funding issues with these guys.

                                -If you don't want to wait for any of these new treatments you can always go with current stuff. Penisteride seems to work, but it's a highly contentious subject as a lot of guys say it made all their hair fall out.

                                Oh, and if you opt for surgery, AVOID THE STRIP METHOD. Just trust me on this one.
