yes... but if we as the world were much smarter, we could.... and MattRod you can but genes into different DNA..... take strwberries for example... they but a fish gene in them so they wont freeze during the cold months... and make oranges bigger.... make apples riper.... so you can do it.... but are we smart enough too..... plus if we find a jellyfish with the same ideal gene we could do it but it will take decays....

WARSAW (Reuters) - Red tape is preventing a Polish man from returning from the dead.

Piotr Kucy, 38 and from the city of Polkowice in southwest Poland, was wrongly identified by authorities last August as a drowned man, only to show up a few days after his own funeral.

Despite pointing out the fact that he was alive to government officials, Kucy still remains dead in official records, stopping him from working and paying social insurance.

But on the bright side, a local newspaper reported on Tuesday, he no longer needs to pay taxes.

"We are nearly through January, and my documents still say I'm dead," Kucy told Gazeta Wyborcza, adding: "It's a bit of a joke." But a registry office official was adamant about the situation. "This citizen does not exist," she told the paper.

Awesome for Piotr.

A jellyfish with near identical human DNA, that's an easy find.

I think It would really suck to be labeled as dead and everything. What can they do, really? I think they'll have to make a new identity for him or he'll go on as being the living dead forever.

PHILADELPHIA — A few years ago, Dennis DeTurck, an award-winning professor of mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, stood at an outdoor podium on campus and proclaimed, "Down with fractions!"

"Fractions have had their day, being useful for by-hand calculation," DeTurck said as part of a 60-second lecture series. "But in this digital age, they're as obsolete as Roman numerals are."

The speech started a firestorm, particularly after the university posted it online.
