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.

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 go off topic on purpose.

I woulds bwe cweeped out...  :huh:

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...

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.

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 really dont know
There are many dangers for an Andalite in human morph. For one thing, there is the constant danger that you will fall off your two legs. The slightest push and you can topple over. But worst by far, is the danger of taste. Taste is the sense that can drive an Andalite mad! Especially is it involves cinnimon buns or chocolate.
