Demorphing = Everything goes back to "default"?

[Darth Revan]

True, but will I morph my 12 year old body? How awkward would that be? Remembering your childhood when you demorph and then you change into your adolescent self.

[Darth Revan]

DNA doesn't change. That's why it's a foolproof identifier. Your body's cells change based on the code contained in your DNA, your DNA itself doesn't change.

of course DNA changes. What causes cancer?

I woulds bwe cweeped out...

Cancer is sort of it's own thing... it's caused by mutation, but it basically creates a different kind of living tissue inside you... It's not your DNA... That doesn't change...

[anijen21]

Cancer is one kind of mutation. I mean, DNA by definition is supposed to stay the same throughout life, but it doesn't. It's why they have such trouble cloning complex organisms. The DNA of a grown man is too different from the DNA of an infant.

[Darth Revan]

Not the code within him. The cells may be different, but the persons DNA is the same.

But this is another "Uh-huh/Nuh-uh" argument. We need to get back on topic.


I'm certain, as Dino said, that the Andalites programmed a failsafe that prevents anything like that from happening.

I've really underestimated the power of this "get back on topic" thing haven't I

NOW GET BACK ON TOPIC

[Darth Revan]

Whatever, shouty.
