| Indian doctor duo make DNA horoscopes at birth Trivandrum | June 23, 2004 8:58:14 PM IST A doctor duo from Trivandrum have developed a technique to map the DNA sequencing of human beings so as to predict their future tendencies and also help fight diseases. Ajit Kumar and Arun Kumar, both genetic experts from the city's main state-run hospitals, have developed the "Nano Geneseq Chip", which analyses the entire future genetic proposition of a human at birth itself. In layman terms the computer can, to almost 100 percent accuracy, predict how a child will grow-right from its height, colour and other physical attributes to his eating habits and even romantic tendencies. Named 'NANOGENESEQ', the chip analyses the DNA samples of newborns, taken either from blood, spinal cord or saliva, effectively making a 'genetic horoscope' of the baby. "This chip is a great miracle and it will be a miracle for medical science, in fact in every areas like HIV, genetic areas and cancer. Our main aim is to bring out a genital gene card. By birth of a baby, one can analyse the DNA and sort out diseases that may occur during lifespan," Ajit Kumar, the man behind the miracle discovery, said. Needless to say, the medical world is excited about the young doctors' findings which will revolutionise the very concept of health care in the world. Doctors say with the genetic layout at their disposal, they would be able to predict and treat a range of disorders, most importanty HIV/AIDS and cancer. "It will be highly useful in diagnosing critical DNA segments which can be amplified so that it is useful to develop noval drugs used to treat diseases like HIV, cancer and other genetic disorders," Lohithananda Swami, Director of Ramakrishna hospital, said. Kumar and Swami's invention has received praise from all over the world including the U.S. President George W.Bush, had sent them a letter of felicitation. The young doctors have also secured the patent rights for their discovery and the product will be ready for commercialization in another two to three months after slight fine-tuning. The duo are in advanced negotiations with U.S-based nano-tech majors to globally commercialize the product through a multi-million dollar invested collaborative research and development centre and to start a nano tech training institute, possibly the first of its kind in South East Asia. Nanogeneseq chip is also used in computer chip industries, holographic movie camera, industries, cell phones etc. It is about 200 times more powerful than the current analyzer. It has longer life span and power consumption is reduced to a minimum.(ANI) |
What about unnatural causes of death, such as cancer and other diseases? The above article addresses some unnatural causes of death and potentially very promising cures.
Come to think about it, is not conscious man's nature to solve and control nature in this way. The only living species able to know/understand nature in order to control nature. Why? To benefit himself, his family, loved ones and humanity.

I will post before reading the article saying Astrology is BS.
Astrology is worthless. The author used creative license as a hook. Apparently the word is not worthless. Now that you've read the article, what do you think?
That stinking Spaniard did know something, after all.
