Hello, I'm a smart ass hahaha just kidding I like science, always have but have recently found science inept and scary because it doesn't impress me yet. My point is this. If we as human beings aren't careful with what we do we are capable of mass genocide. yup the end of life as we know it. Sure, it's possible to endure past the fact that we are killing off everything just to eat. Genetically modifying food is another thing entirely. Killing off pests which are actually food for birds. See how intertwined we are. Life is grand let's keep our noses out of genetically modifying food and start the march towards "DNA dining". yes food menus with food made for our type. Similar to that 90's fad of eating right for your type, just a little better than that. I dream of a day when all doctors have gene testing machines like these that are now almost a reality. They take this DNA profile and send it to the health care system who set's up the database file which is represented by a bar-code. When we go out to a restaurant the waiter wheels out a laptop and laser printer. You hand them your health card, the waiter scans the card and prints out a custom menu and hands back the menu with your card. You choose something, and tell the waiter, number four please.

Sex isn't everything but it's nice when it happens. Do you see where this is going? Rather than discussing the thread it's resorted to sex.
That happens about once every six months if you believe in the latest scare. I am old enough to remember when Three Mile Island was going to be the end of life in the US (or at least Pennsylvania.) Too late; we've been doing that for about 11,000 years now. OK.
I have been laying low because I felt dumb. But... What actually do you mean? And sex is a whole other ballgame.
Let's start with feeling dumb. The beginning of all life began with feeling dumb, going back to feeling dumb may mean your going back to your roots as a human being. What I mean by calling you a moron is that I have been working on a new concept and that concept has a few soft spots. First it's not possible yet since the DNA machines haven't gotten to the point where we can do much more than get a blood reading and interpret the data and look at the 23 chromosomes presented there. My project can't go forward without the due diligence of the medical world coming up with a DNA machine that has proper software to make a perfect DNA profile that can be stored in a database. Then we can start the project I have in mind I call DNA dining. Clive
In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females.
That's basic man, something we can all learn by googleing it. I'm talking about pushing the technology envelope and building services from it.
CT: the responses you are receiving are in the same spirit as your opening post - scattered and not really serious. You've confirmed you're a smart ass. You started talking about the end of life as we know it, and, without even starting a new paragraph, drifted into DNA-scanning and dining. If you want serious answers, it would behoove you to lead off with a serious focused question. What do you want to talk about? Extinction? DNA-scanning? Dining? It's all right to provide some back-story - some rationalization for your thesis/idea - but you should make it clear what it is you want to actually have a dialogue about.
The "DNA machines" (sequencers) are far more capable than that. They can completely sequence your DNA pretty quickly now. They have that. What they don't have is something that turns your DNA profile into your "ideal diet" (nor does such a thing exist.)
I'll start with a question: Where is the correlation between my DNA and what I want to (or should) eat?
DNA or Genetic matching or sequencers is what my plan is all about with your genetics as the source of your profile we can start the process of matching food types to your genetic type the same way "Right for your type" matched food to our personality. Except it's not your personality it's your blood type and your problems such as Cholesterol that make certain decisions for you. Currently we have only the first stage of this puzzle. A DNA machine that tests blood and makes a basic profile to list and then allow you to treat diseases. This is not the end of Genetic services it's only the beginning. We have ancestry.com and now we have https://www.23andme.com . Here's someone who has tried it http://www.businessinsider.com/ They both tell you what is wrong. All of this points in the direction of how we will die and eventually have medicine made specifically for us. Eventually we will be able to see several other aspects of this genetic information that will tell us what to eat to curb the effects of eating things that are not right for us. Clive
Personality isn't DNA. Blood type isn't DNA. So the question remains: Where is the correlation between my DNA and what I want to (or should) eat?
In you opinion what is DNA then? In my opinion it's genes telling us what's wrong and what to do is up to a doctor.
Why would you ask for an opinion? Wiki is a good start. Right... and opinion is always an indicator of scientific worth when it comes to a proposal like you've made.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Does DNA tell anyone that you have, for example, vitamin deficiencies? How about a chronic lung condition? Bird flu? Oh wait, Spinal muscular atrophy shows up in DNA. What sort of menu would be offered for that?

These may include a low fat diet, medications, and in some cases surgery. What your DNA or Genetic profile would tell you is obviously a low fat food list such as chicken breast in main courses such as chicken cacciatore and desserts such as Jello or pudding. The same would apply to other conditions with the same symptoms.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
