groovy, so indeed all the kings horses and all the kings men won't be able
to
put humpty dumpty together again . I take it these external elements get
within
the body as well, so they're indistinguishable from the "honest ingredients"
?
Oh I see, probably when a child is born it already contains a host of
elements
from its mother, which could come from anywhere, It seems then there's
really
no way of knowing what the base ingredients are then ?
The idea is to get all the necessary ingredients together that would, if
mixed well
of course, create a human being. Then provide a mixer as a do-it-yourself
kit..
So do you consider the list ok so as to contain all these essentials ? I
would like
to make a presentation of these ingredients in a galery in Paris, but before
I need
to know is it safe to say for me that these ingredients could really be "one
human being"
thanks,
Jonathan
