Unique People☺

Doc, it's been proven that iris scans can fail after a few years due to the changes, which is why they are not being used by the UKBA. http://www.newscientist.com/article/...ic-checks.html

It's still reliable as long as the data is updated on a regular basis.

Of course nothing stays constant - even " identical " twins become less similar by middle age ! Many cells have to divide so we can grow new skin, blood, bone and other tissues when needed. Our unique genome may be affected by errors ( mutations ) during division, which can cause disease like cancer. Even the iris and retina are susceptible. Many, if not all, human diseases are caused by a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors.
Each of us is not only unique but we also change with time - our cells, bodies, and minds ! Already there are tests which claim to help predict how long we will live - if we really want them - but until we do know more about ageing the key word is moderation in all things !

I dont think you look 'old' I think our perception of age make us think we are old, as well as all the aches and pains.

Call it a look of life experience.

@ Alan,
I remember my Grandfather as he aged, his eyes changes. He had blue eyes, like me, but towards the end of his life I remember his irises has a disctinctly light blue edge on the outer circumference. What causes that ?

Probably a cholesterol deposit, Steve. It's common in older people and doesn't interfere with vision. In a younger person, it might be a sign of high blood cholesterol.
( The iris is the pigmented area around, and controlling the size of, the pupil, with the sclera being the outer white part of the eye. Eye colour is determined by several genes, and it's due to pigment in the iris. Albinos have no pigment in iris, hair, or skin, so the iris appears pink because of blood within it. During life the iris can change colour in certain diseases ).

Humans are good at recognising faces, so the lady with me should be easily named ( Clue : there is another picture with her somewhere on the forum !).

is that a small boat or is he a giant

He's been called many things, most often Darling , but never a giant Of course he's unique and bears no resemblance to me .

I was an Area Sales Manager for a music company (part of EMI) at the time, so yes I was up-to-date with the latest fashions.
