so i had this great idea on the bus today, i was thinking about DNA and the Human Genome Project or whatever that thing is called and i got on about mutations and of the like so i thought, if scientists are willing to devote all this time to single strands of DNA, why not start young, like right after birth so there is minimal time for the body to mutate to environmental conditions, from there the person could be tracked, with regular samplings like a quick mouth swab. with such a backlog of samples you could theoretically track most of the major mutations of the body to some extent, then if a certain condition is noticed in a person being tracked, the scientist could say,"hmm, well if the cancer has been developing for 1 month, we can backtrack to last months sample, and sort out all that months mutations, seeing as there are only 3 billion genes that could mutate, so they narrow it down to 3 mutations, 2 of which were already categorized and , VIOLA! we've cured cancer!

okay Daum, here's the part where you throw some incredible knowledge in my face that proves my idea to be redundant and or silly. go on, flaunt your intelligence so i can run to a corner and vent my frustration drawing bad stick figure comics that i will then refuse to make a webcomic of, so HA!

Not sure; I'd have to do a lot of back reading on that one.
