How about a tailored virus that modifies your DNA on a rotating basis in non significant fashion so that you're constantly "new". I wonder if that would be theoretically possible? Fun times.
You would have to do it to the 'junk' and 'long term unused' portions (ie introns), I doubt it would work with exons. There's also the issue of timing. Using a virus it would be hard to hit all the cells at one time. -- ____________________________________________________________________ natsugusa ya...tsuwamonodomo ga...yume no ato summer grass...those mighty warriors'...dream-tracks Matsuo Basho The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.
