Starting to realize exactly how personal hair is. Asked one person I didn't know very well and they wondered what Iwas really going to do with the hair and if I new that their hair could be tested for substances and also had genetic information in it. They wanted to check out the Accumulation site before releasing their sample. I remembered a film, Starman where an alien entity creates a likeness of a deceased human by photos and hair from a scrapbook. This made me think about how much has changed in human knowlege of oursleves has increased in my lifetime, the fact that you can take a starnd of hair of drop of blood and know the donors genetic make-up is pretty amazing. I'm not reall sure what would be done with this info but some people do not want their detailed physical make-up tp be public knowledge.
