- Oh, ick. Not the saline solution again. Well... cheers, everybody!

- Okay, Mark, I've got a centrifuge tube here full of saline solution,
- along with a few cheek cells that got washed into the solution. Now,
- I'm going to take half the cells and plate them onto a petri dish
- containing rich medium, with all the nutrients cells need to survive.
- Then I'll take the dish, put it in a nice warm incubator, and let 'em
- grow.
- As for the other half of the cells, I'm going to break them open,
- extract the DNA and amplify it, and then let it sit there. So, how
- long do _you_ think it will take for a human being to form, either
- from the incubated cells or the DNA?
-
- Moral of this story: Human DNA alone does not a human make.
