Based upon a world-wide DNA library of every living individual (I’ve seen the future, and its coming), computerized DNA matching of the entire population. While an exact match is unlikely, a reasonably close match is possible. Get to know these people. They are very much like you. Become friends. You
never know, one day you may need a kidney...
Come to think of it, your entire group may need kidneys. But at least you have a ready made support group.
Should lead to a lot more stories like this one...

Sounds like the plot for a thriller. (Having just seen the Clint Eastwood movie where the bad guy bumps people off just because they have heart types that match the hero, who is in need of a transplant.) |
|
| |
Pluter, not understanding much about genetics, has been grouped with Koko. (A 98% match, they say!) |
|
| |
Good so far, but Detective Snarfyguy woud naturally deduce that "nearly the same" (the same only bigger?) doesn't mean equivalent. Meanwhile Dimandja works the man / mouse angle, checking the serial numbers of all the Mouse-a-Pults in the area. |
|
| |
Which would be followed by a car chase ending up at Film Noir Home where ravenswood is hiding out... |
|
| |
Meanwhile, Koko gets away, scot-free... It was the ape, I tell you! |
|
| |
ato_de, your link is completely screwed up. You got stuff in the wrong fields. |
|
| |
i just had a thought...(unusual for me). couldn't you murder your identical twin, and even if you left some of your won blood at the scene, you could call it a suicide? |
|
| |
Only if you left no fingerprints. Though why would you want to murder your twin? (Most crimes are solved on the basis of motive, so if you really didn't get on with your twin, you'd be the first person given the third degree.) |
|
| |
<pedant>your elf</pedant> |
|
| |
but, at least for sloppy me, all the fingerprints would be smudged and could be linked to my twin. as far as motive goes, i'm repressive, so i doubt anyone would be able to guess |
|
| |
Pay attention please. She said they were smudged. |
|
| |
Well they couldn't. If anything, smudged prints would be linked to igirl since she's the sloppy one. |
|
| |
// ... even if you left some of your won blood at the scene, you could call it a suicide? // |
|
| |
"He was stabbed fourteen times in the face, Captain. Looks like a suicide." |
|
| |
...and twice in the back. |
|
| |
"...and the tips of his fingers are smudged." |
|
| |
Or you could become a Raelian, clone yourself, and harvest parts at a later date. |
|
| |
<ducks and runs for cover> |
|
| |
no, two of me is just scary |
|
| |
Or find the closest DNA match to your current partner, just in case. |
|
| |
"You're one in a million, babe." |
|
| |
In a world of six billion people, that still gives you a bit of leeway if things don't work out... |
|
| |
Nope, no genetic match, these people
are all human. *Sigh* |
|
| |
You only wanted a tissue sample from
them, why do you need a whole organ
from me, huh? Get your own
