whoa, gene, you're a few decades ahead of me in technology. i never
heard of either of the words you prefixed with photo. please define.
the reason i suggested a bladder implant is that it could directly
sample and report urine chemistry, perhaps to a belt buckle receiver/
storage device. a watch might be able to sample the chemistry of
perspiration tho. perhaps one of the medics on extropians could
comment on the usefulness of that data. spike
