    It's ok.

    Your questions have been interesting and have created some great threads.

    Makes up for lazy people like me who don't bother to ask questions or create something new.

    What makes you different from 60 billion other people?☺☺
    Experiences



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    hmm what a question lolz but ill answer you
    your DNA AND FINGERPRINTS makes an individual different/ unique to other in my opinion
    A place for everything, everything in its place.

    I wish I had a unique name.
    I think a unique name is a wonderful gift and arguably a great asset.

    I've seen plenty of really great names in Pinas. If they are unique I don't know, but seems like many could be.
    It's a super tradition, even if it sometimes make me laugh.

    Not sure that a name like Honey-Boy would have been such an asset at my school.

    There are less than 7 billion people in the world today. We each have around 25,000 genes ( our genome ) which is all our hereditary information. It's encoded in DNA as the genotype. This is the blueprint or set of instructions for our characteristics. Our phenotype is our physical appearance, or how the genotype is "expressed ".
    The environment - where we live, what we do - affects our phenotype, and also our personality, to make us all different.
    Our DNA profile is unique, although " identical " twins ( resulting from a single fertilized egg ) do have virtually identical DNA ( genotype ). However, their phenotype is not identical and differences in appearance become more marked as they grow older.
    Fingerprints ARE unique - even in " identical " twins, from birth, because of different environment in the womb ( uterus ).
    Similarly, increasing use is made of facial recognition technology which is now installed in the gates of every major UK airport. People with " biometric " passports have a chip containing information about the holder's face ( part of their phenotype ). These are taken from their photo, such as distance between eyes, nose, mouth and ears. The details are checked against UK Border Agency systems.
    " Personalised " medicine is the hope for the future. Knowing our unique genome could allow drugs targeted for the particular genes involved in any disease ( such as cancer ) which we might have, or be at risk of developing in the future. On the other hand, " designer babies " raises all sorts of ethical questions. But there's no doubt each of us IS unique - even if our genotypes are surprisingly similar to mice and other species !

    But Doc, my facial bits are moving steadily in a southerly direction at a relentless pace.

    Won't this affect these clever biometrics ?

    Eventually, yes ... which is why the passport - and photo - need renewal every few years.
    There are other forms of biometric scanning, involving the eyes, the ONLY organs which remain much the same, in certain respects, throughout life. These are not so readily available, for example iris recognition - but the phenotype is truly unique, to an even greater degree than fingerprints. In times of heightened global and domestic security needs, this is not just a matter of curiosity to anatomists ! Retina recognition is also used, but can be affected by diseases.

    Thanks Doc.

    I wish they'd hurry up with those rejuvenation wonder treatments though. I'm running out of time !

    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.
