Scientists have a way to make things transparent. Anyone else see a horrifying future for alternative medicine..?

[Jazcash]

Not "things", biological tissue To make anything transparent would be fairy magic.

[Karl]

Yeah get a father which is a Glaser and you will become transparten!

[PicassoCT]

So they finally learned to use alpha textures. But well, nature always had that trick upt its sleeve.





Still will give us many interesting things to look upon, maybee one day even in living samples.

[Forboding Angel]

Y U NO USE TEX2???

[knorke]

tex2 is just "full" or "none" transparency though i think.

This should really be helpful in cancer research. It should help scientists pinpoint where the damage is occurring and how the growth progresses. That would enable them to develop better treatments for cancer.

Great. What is so special about it? A Glass shaped like a Heart? (no not the wanna-be heart) Great. Nothing ground breaking, Science says alot they even said they can make invisible jacket and shi they even tried to use a Microwave to make a thing invisible.

[hoijui]

well ok, so they can mak see-through alien...
but where the f* did they find the alien in the first place?!?!?

yeah.. good for cancer research...
so indian women get transparent feti with ultra high risk for cancer implanted. out of X*1000 children, a couple are usable in the end, and they get fed until age of 10 or so, where they get useful. the rest gets killed earlier, at best before birth already.
the few that get useful at age of 10 are cared for naturally, as they wont ever get older then 12 anyway, due to the cancer.
success!

It is a postprocess of _dead_ tissue and is nothing new btw, only the quality of the final results is.
They dream of reducing the concentration, so the cells can semi-normally operate after the procedure. Still it's quite unlikely that this works on a complete life form. Making it work on tissue cultures or small organs may be the goal.

suddently it got a lot less interessting.
i want elephants that are see-through like jellyfish.

is the reality I think that would be terribly gross.

the transparent citizen, why you suddenly not so amused, big brother? Wasnt that what you always wanted? Surveillance might be a little difficult, but nobody can stay naked indefinatly

England is an possible candidate.

porn will never be the same

[PicassoCT]

lol, imagine this, a pair of white stockings, impossible high shoes, and the usual pornsounds, moving backward and forward on a sofa, finally some milk floating in mid-air.

Ghostporn, has it been done before. Oh, forgot, 34 times allready.

The Intertubes, there are always things you dont want to know about.

[Panda]

It would be freaky to watch digestion occurring in a see-through organism, but I think you can pretty much already do that with jellyfish while they're digesting live organisms that they've paralyzed.
