A Challenge to Genetic Engineers   I just thought of this
brilliant idea while in the shower... transparent skin.  When
genetic engineers identify the gene which puts the pigment in
our skin, they can figure out how to disable it. Since humans
already have a variety of different colors of skin pigment,
there is no reason to believe that there will be any
disadvantage to making it transparent.  Think of the advantages:
1. No more racial profiling or prejudice in our society,
everyone will look the same.  2. Doctors will be able to easily
view your internal organs without using X-rays or MRI scanners.
3. It will be easy to see areas where fatty deposits are
building up, so you'll know which areas to workout.  4. Women
will be able to see if they are pregnant without getting tested.
5. Dentists will be able to work on your teeth without using
mirrors.  6. You'll be able to see when your stomach is full so
you know when to stop eating.  People will look a lot different,
but we will get used to it very quickly.
