That truly would be a real nifty piece of bio engineering, since its the
PANCREAS that produces insulin, not the thyroid. I know, I had to take
thyroid supplelments when I was growing up. the worst part about it was the
fact that the Dr alway had a zillion different blood tests he had to take
before each visit, and his lab had just about THE most incopetent lab tech's
ever. Net result... a very severe dislike of needles.

Which has one benifit.... at least I'll never be getting into stuff like
Herion.
