Document Summary

The forensic pathologist is asked to help identify the victim using only the blood as a clue. The pathologist tells the detective that the blood is from a hemophiliac who was suffering from an infection at the time of death. The viscosity (how thick it is) of the mucus is regulated as hypothesized by the transport of sodium and chloride ions. A scientist may not have authored such a fantasy but you think that the flies might keep getting bigger as a result of a mutation. Since they do not know your blood type, they decide it would be safer to use a volume of distilled water equal to the amount of blood you lost. They inject this water directly into one of your veins. You decide to clone an anticoagulant protein from these insects. The idea is that urea will fertilize green algae, allow profuse growth and thereby capturing co2.
