Well that's interesting. If they can figure out a way to circumvent the turning blue issue, it could be of help in humans.

No one would fund the research though.

Too cheap for a profit.

I'm not actually sure humans would turn blue. Rat skin is incredibly thin compared to humans, especially the ears and...er...paws(?) where the blue is more prominent. Rat's also have far less blood than we do, so the dye is more concentrated.

It just depends on variables we don't know, like how much dye was added.

I had a feeling that people would start turning blue before I died...

This would be why gov't sponsored health care would be a good thing.


On that note, though, you could always join the Blue Man Group

I'm sure the dye would wear off.

And about the same time you'd actually recover your functions, rather than being paralyzed.

Of course, this is coming from someone who likes copious amounts of blue.

Explain...because that would be government 'controlled'.

Simple enough; if making a change will cost a bit more up front but lower prices in the long term, they'll invest in it.

Much like other treatments; government funded research would go to the government, meaning that they would not be paying some big pharma company inflated prices.
