Gene Research Gives Hope of Reversing Baldness
Hair loss in humans might not be irreversible, suggest scientists who have helped create new hair cells on the skin of mice. It was thought hair follicles, once damaged, could never be replaced. A University of Pennsylvania team, writing in the journal Nature, say hair growth can actually be encouraged using a single gene.
i'm not nearly as distressed by the hair i'm losing as much as by the hair that seems to grow more and more rapidly where i don't want it.
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
No thanks, that's what makes me a sex machine!

"The ladies" - like every woman (like every man) would have the same taste or the same priorities? Perhaps it's being the kind of person that calls women "the ladies" that pushes them off?
Again, for most middle-aged people it's not the hair, it's the habitual Nixon-after-a-bender look that's the basic problem.

Instead of focusing so much on baldness and erectile dysfunction, shouldn't we have our scientists dealing with the decreasing IQ problem? Just think of where we could end up 500 years!
