Namely that an ''in vitro Daodan'' could be carried inside a box for medical usage. Furthermore it could be like this: You could expose it to doses of negative stimuli such as toxins and grow adapted tissue or organs. Once implanted, these would not take over the rest of the body. It's like bioprinting (a.k.a. [[wikipedia:Tissue_engineering|tissue engineering]]) with Daodan cells. | ||

: Hasegawa: "In a democracy you need the majority to change a situation. But in the WCG there's no such thing like a majority nor a democracy. We missed to accomplish our chances with normal means. Now, only a revolution can bring change. If you don't have the guts to pull it off then I will do it. Or rather... If the entire society's intelligence wasn't enough to ensure our survival then I will empower the human body to protect ourselves." | : Hasegawa: "In a democracy you need the majority to change a situation.
