 |

| Quote: | Doctors in India have extracted 232 teeth from the mouth of a 17-year-old boy in a seven-hour operation.
Ashik Gavai was brought in with a swelling in his right jaw, Dr Sunanda Dhiware, head of Mumbai's JJ Hospital's dental department, told the BBC.
The teenager had been suffering for 18 months and travelled to the city from his village after local doctors failed to identify the cause of the problem.
Doctors have described his condition as "very rare" and "a world record".
"Ashik's malaise was diagnosed as a complex composite odontoma where a single gum forms lots of teeth. It's a sort of benign tumour," Dr Dhiware said. |

| They should steal is T-cells and create a process to make replacement teeth for people from clones kept brain-dead in vats. |

I wouldn't want the DNA in me which led to that many teeth.

Is there a way to weaponise the 'teeth-gene', perhaps some kind of chewing drone or missile to bring peace to the middle east by selling them to all sides? They could all use them to eat each other and they could eliminate pork products entirely, literally at the flick of a switch. |
