What if you could be a period-free woman?

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

I had this funny idea today which technically should be possible in a distant future.

We are all afraid of genetic, but slowly we will accept the idea of creating new species and maybe in a distant future to modify our genome. In Neurosciences, we are already working , every day, with genetically modified mice. And it is a very powerfull tool to study human diseases. I am pretty sure that we won’t refuse the possibility to eradicate some horrible genetic diseases by “tuning” our genome. But please don’t take this too seriously. I am speculating…

Anyway, let’s go to my main point. The main difference between a woman and a man is the infamous period which more or less comes every month. What if, somehow, we create a genetically modified woman with no period? I mean a woman who, instead of taking a pill every day of its life, will take one only when she wants a kid (to induce its period). In genetic, it’s called a knock-in and it’s already possible to induce some protein synthesis with a certain chemical (eaten by the animal).

In the end, it would be exactly like the pill but working the opposite way…

So let’s come to my question, do you think it would be a good idea to have pill-induced-period woman?
Here is a poll just to see what you think, guys. I don’t have any opinion on this question, just curious to know what you think.

What if woman could have pill-induced period?

End of a story

I found this little fellow a few weeks ago, in Paris. Indeed, you know how London decided to say good bye to their dear old friend, and symbol.

Probably, the old bus is wondering what is gonna happen to him. No more ride in London but he will probably go on and travel around the world, who knows?

Anyway, that was a small shock to find him there, just under the bridge, with the seine flooding around.

I’ll keep an eye on him.
