Injecting the Bible and Quran into your body

A French Teenager Turned the Bible and Quran into DNA and Injected Them into His Body

A kid in France transcribed parts of the Hebrew book of Genesis and the Arabic-language Quran, into DNA and injected them into his body — one text into each thigh.

Adrien Locatelli, a 16-year-old high school student, posted a paper Dec. 3 on the preprint server OS, in which he claimed, "It is the first time that someone injects himself macromolecules developed from a text."

(...) Locatelli said he didn’t experience any significant health problems following the procedure, though he reported some "minor inflammation" around the injection site on his left thigh for a few days.

That's disturbing and just utterly bizarre, to be honest.

Besides, human languages don't translate to DNA in any meaningful sense ~ the languages are just too different in how they function.

He's lucky that his body didn't react badly ~ probably because DNA isn't a protein, which it what the immune system (mostly?) reacts to, nor would the body just take it into any of its cells' DNA.

Why one earth would a person do that?

Why one earth would a person do that?

"I did this experiment for the symbol of peace between religions and science," he said, adding, "I think that for a religious person it can be good to inject himself his religious text."

"...and the Word became flesh and dwelled among us."     Literally

Ah right that makes perfect sense.
