Change eye color, skin tone by popping a pill?

ok well i see it pretty positively think of it like this your a special operations soldier youve spent 10 years killing americas secret enemies you get older wanna retire but youneed a new identity that sticks contacts and hair dye and spray on tans arent gonna be fun for the rest of your life and all you have to do is make it have an age limit and prescription based, theres plenty of stuff we do that is far more dangerous than change what we look like, like cigarettes and beer dont do enough harm and i bet most of those peple against that do at least one if not both of the above

I really like the sound of this, as long its safe! Can you let me know when this becomes available? :D

... seriously, that was picked for tv.

The cancer pill is what it should be called, ill just wear colored contacts if I want it that badly.

change your eye color with a pill? This is awful

This country is over-medicated (no offense, but it's true). Why do people feel the need to bake under the sun or drastically alter the way they look, and to try to do all this with the help of ingesting possibly harmful drugs... it's too much! Be happy with who you are people... quit the baking, and the overmedication, and the spraying of the tan and all that nonsense!

This source is from UK. And only recently, there was an article here on Current about facial recognition technology to be used in UK airports...

Funny how that works. Finding a solution to face recognition only to find out people are changing their appearances. It'd be pretty interesting to see how these two technologies affect each other...

I thinks they create new idea for crime, to make victim can change there eyes at any time they make crime. And came with new eyes colors .

Personally, I believe that everyone should learn to accept themselves for who they are. However, since I also believe that in America, individuals should be tolerated for their own beliefs...I suppose if they wish to change their exteriors, I can accept that because they're responsible for themselves. I wouldn't just because I feel I'm supposed to be the way I am, and I'm unique because like TIGGER, there's only one of me.

Word.. bring it on.. dark skinned women are gorgeous..

In addition to the side-effects that will most likely be associated with this pill, I've never been vain enough to care about things like that.

There are more important medical discoveries to be made, cures for diseases to be found. We shouldn't be wasting our time and energy on vanity medicines.

Sounds very sci fi. I sure as hell wouldnt be involved in the first maybe even second gen consumers of that product.

If they test 100 people and majority of them come out successful I will take it - for sure.

i wouldn't trust new inventions like these

I want red eyes. No, wait, white! What the hell, lets try them all!

Ha, word uroborus8. I want everyone who says racism doesn't exist or isn't a problem any more to put that theory to the test for a week. 20 bucks says they break after 2 days...

Initially, I thought this sounded very cool. I still think it is, however the problem is that virtually all drugs are toxic to some degree, and as Eli Lilly once said, "a drug without side effects is no drug at all."

A Black Bill O' Reilly! I don't know why, but that reminds me of Franklin the Puppet from Arrested Development.

You know, Gob's puppet?

"It ain't easy being white!"
"It ain't easy being brooown!"

Oh Boy!! I'll just start taking it along with ALL the analgesic, antacid, anti-anxiety, anti-arrhythmic, anti-bacterial, antibiotic, anticoagulant, thrombolytic, anti-convulsant, antidepressant, anti-diarrheal, anti-emetic, anti-fungal, anti-histamine, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-neoplastic, anti-pyretic, antivirals, barbiturate, beta-blocker, bronchodilator, cold remedy, corticosteroid, cough suppressant, cytotoxic, decongestant, diuretic, expectorant, hypoglycemic, immunosuppressive, laxative, bullet-muscle relaxant, sedative, sex hormone, sleep, anti-psychotic, and vitamin pills that "I" take. Come on people if we have a pill for EVERYTHING that can effect us, for better or for worse, don't you think that the consequences of us using these medication whenever we "need" to could, no, WOULD be devistating or possibly fatal?

(I'm being sarcastic when I talk about me taking all these different med's.)

Tanning Drugs? Instead, let's go outside and smoke some weed.

This is the problem I have with pharmaceuticals. As long as it provides the intended result we are unconcerned with any other sideffects.

sounds as safe as the pill that cuts a woman's menstrual cycle down to only a couple of times a year.

I had no problem with the artical untill it started taking a sharp racist twist..."black" people or anyone with any coloring in their skin for that matter, might be interested in something like this; its all PERSONAL preference on how you want to look or be portrayed on the outside...it doesn't neccesarily mean your trying to be someone else! If a person wants to make their skin darker or lighter because they like how it looks, I say go for it! There are just as many white people that want to be dark as there are dark people that want to be light. As far as this being an alternative to skin cancer (tanning outside or in a bed), I think its great and wouldn't mind trying it myself!

They can't find a cure for cancer, but they can create a pill that can change your genetics. Pretty fascinatin' stuff.

so i totally see crime rates shooting up.
i would think people would be tempted knowing that their description could change with only a pill.

I want Bill O'Reilly to be black for a month.

Coool!!! I want red eyes, blue hair and orange skin. Pwn that genetics.

yes Mr Meadowcroft, listen carefully to Peewong // satisfaction with one-self you true chemist!

I guess the first place this will be distributed is Los Angeles...
I don't see a pill that alters your largest organ as a good thing.

well spray on tans could also be linked to cancer...I dont fully agree with allowing chemicals to sink into my skin...ultimately into my bloodstream...only to get filtered by my internal organs...you win some you lose some...you can either embrace technology, or reject it; You can either accept yourself or reject it (go point)

melanina?

i wonder how many years until this gets linked to cancer...

lindaann, the pill isn't whats golden. Read that paragraph over again. Besides Peewong's right, people should be happy with what they have.

I don't really get why people can't be happy with what they have. Besides, aren't there spray-on tans and color contacts for all of this?

What will this golden pill going to do to the liver?
