g gace. I cannot help. Thank you KR IRS This one is not a reply as I respond on content to content and not self generated villainy letters. I do not know any professor as acclaimed by the compiler. One who does not deal with the science properly, and in one's own cock and bull story, may not fit as logic to one who believes that it is right. No one drinks blood; the gel fish recovery back is not immortality; so many facts are twisted which poses as if an answer to who knew th*ngs. *but Quora 80% do contain only such Q and A whose labels are avoided by real personalities. If two people want to scratch each other, it is their individual rights. I present the whole picture and it is for the members to go further. So far, the compiler could not present any content disproving anything but writes, defenselessly and seeks the or making a pleading for saving grace. I cannot help it. Thank you. KR IRS 21024
