Stunning! Brilliant! Magnificent! Oh… and the story was good too…  😉

What an amazing story! Will we get to see a sequel?

Reading through this again, I noticed something. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I have seen a similar storyline in a movie. I believe that it was called "Death Becomes Her". This looks almost identical, except that this has a spinach twist and includes FMG. Did anyone else notice this?

That is impressive. I can't wait until the next scene!

well DCM… Reagarding that image… If I could whistle, I would. I also wish to welcome Sara to the board. The only thing that I can say is "enjoy".  😀

It's good that no one is opinionated about this. 🙄

Seriously though, I agree with Pixxie's views. His method of presenting them, though, are a little disagreeable. First off, you are being hypocritical in the most extreme sense by contiuously complaining about someone else complaining. Also, you can't expect people to do anything by simply shouting at them. I figured that out the hard way. Well, not so much the hard way as it is being ignored. If anyone reading this is curious, I am referring to a message that I posted on the message board on the "A Growing Concern" Yahoo group. If you want to read it, just search the archives for a message written by dragoon0123456789. While I did get some responses from it, I could count the number of them on the fingers of my hands.

Your heart's in the right place, but there are better ways to deal with problems that arise from conflicting views. I will say this last thing, though. Is it so surprising that this guy was afraid about sharing his views? I don't know about anyone else, but I have extreme dificulty sharing any of my views of what makes a woman physically beautiful with anyone in my life aside from those that are members of this forum and various online groups. I would want to be anonymous about finding muscular women attractive if I were talking to people if I'm not sure about thier personal preferences. By doing this, this person gains a measure of protection while being able to speak their mind.

What about ebay? I'm sure that you can find it somewhere in there.

Hmmm… That may be true, but knowing where she is coming from is a good idea. That way, we, if she approves or even wishes, of course, can track her progress and possibly give advice or, at the very least, offer encouragement.

Well, it's targeting kids. What did you expect?

I have not had a chance to really study this, but I believe that, since voluntary and involuntary muscles are actually different types of cells, they require different chemicals to grow. What I'm more worried about are muscles that are neither voluntary nor involuntary. For example, the diaphragm, the muscle that controls the ability to breath, is an involuntary muscle. However, you can still control it. If that were affected by the lack of muscle inhibiting proteins, then you would slowly suffocate. Another issue is that you need to make sure that it only affects a certain part of the body. From the article, it sounds like you have to inject these chemicals directly into the muscle groups that are to be affected. If it spreads through the body, it could cause some sever disfiguration. A perfect example is that, in the face, there are muscles. While there are mostly tendons, like in the hands, if these chemicals spread through the body unchecked, then it is possible for the the muscles in the face to grow, stretching it out of proportion.

One thing that I noticed that the article did not mention was how it affects the other tissues throughout the body, bones, ligaments and tendons being my primary concern. They do not use the same growth factors as muscle (at least bones don't, I'm not sure about the rest) so it is doubtful that they would grow in response to the chemicals that are allowing the muscles to grow. While the bones aren't a problem until the muscles get to a certain size, the ligaments and tendons are a little more of a problem. The ligaments hold the bones together, so if the muscles grow in such a way that they push the bones into awkward angles, then the ligaments can tear and cause severe harm. The biggest problem, in my opinion, would be the tendons. They are cellularly different from muscle cells, so, again, I don't think that the same growth factors apply. If that is the case, then you will end up with muscles that are several times stronger and bigger than the once were, but the tendons would stay about the same. This means that the person who took these shots could, hypothetically, pull the tendons off of the bones that they are attached to.

On the lighter side, this is a great scientific achievement. This can possible cure muscular dystrophy as well as other diseases that waste away the skeletal muscular tissue. The only thing that worries me about this is the fact that there might be some unintended side effects that can lead to some serious problems. I seriously doubt that the the authorities would let this happen (but it probably will, one way or another), but I expect that it will, shortly after release to the public, become available to the anyone, regardless if they need it or not. Someone will, undoubtedly, sell to anyone who wants it. This would be interesting, but I still want to make sure that there are no negative effects from such a treatment, even if it were a matter of my living or dying (which, thankfully, is not the case).

This is almost completely speculation, so I don't know how much of what I said is true. I just went along with what I was able to reason out. Regardless of my opinion, I think that this is a highly interesting scientific development and shows that we are slowly gaining mastery over the biological sciences. On a different, but similar note, has anyone ever read the story Neodystrophin, by Myostatinus? If not, look for it on the net. I think that anyone who reads it will find it as interesting as this article. 😉
