Scientists are mapping Ozzy’s genetic code? Now that should be pretty damn interesting, don’t you think?

Scientists are mapping Osbourne's genetic code to try to see what makes him tick. He's "only one of a few people in the world to have his full genome analyzed," Sky News points out.

They couldn't of picked a better person to study what happens to your body after 40+years of hardcore drug abuse. This should be really interesting
 
lawl... doctors will be like...

"how the hell is this guy alive?"
"wtf did he just say?"
"everyone get in here and look at this!"
"don't move... his vision is based on movement"
 
Whole genome sequencing won't give any insight into the effects of a lifetime of abuse. What would drive someone to that path, on the other hand--maybe part of the answer is in there.

Now, because it's Ozzy, I hope someone has thought of reading his DNA backwards.

lol funny coincidence. I just watched Jurassic Park last night.

As for the thread topic, didn't they map Einstein's genetic makeup about a year ago? Wouldn't it be very interesting if we combine Einstein's with Osbourne's DNA and create a man? ;-)

You just won this thread...lol..
 
And the researchers will discover that while most humans have 99% the same DNA as a Chimpanzee, Ozzy has 99% the same DNA as a Coca plant.
 
They scientists would have mapped his genetic code earlier but they had to wait for all the drug residue to leave his system beforehand. :p
 
As an aardvark, anyone who snorted ants is relevant to my interests.
 
The thing is what makes him tick is nothing to do with genetics, even if it ever was his behaviour and mentality have been completely altered by the life style he leads.

Tbh i'd say this is just another pointless attempt to make science seem cool.
 
I think they are trying to find out if we can actually mutate or hurt our own DNA through copious drug use. That is the only thing that would make sense about mapping that idiot's DNA.

My thoughts exactly,

In Ozzy's latest book, he goes over all the drugs he has done in his life and all of his accidents. So you really have to wonder how he is actually alive today and if all the years of abusing his body has had any "side affects". Hopefully they have an DNA sample from when he was born or really young to compare it too. I am kind curious as to what the results will be.
 
Between him and Keith Richards, they sniffed, drank, and injected enough preservatives to make them close to immortal. Hell, the cocaine content snorted alone is probably equal to 1/3 of Columbia's population mass.
 
It the years of drugs that have kept him alive, they weed out the weaker cells and keep him strong.

That and his steady diet of bat blood.

Like Michael Jackson he is not human.
 
On a medical standpoint, his RBC's probably need to have the coke dusted off, and the opium tar filtered from his plasma before any type of mapping can even begin.

:::Chuckles:: when they start the actual mapping, is the medium supposed to turn completely blue like the drug kits you see on "Cops"?

And of course, genetics has nothing to do with the behaviour that would have attracted him to that lifestyle in the first place. Got it.

Ha! There's also something to be said for finding out what genetic makeup let's you live through that self-abuse. Oh, and to ROCK!

and there doing this for a drug fried rock star and not Einstien...Why?

Because Einstein didn't sign the consent form? Regardless:

"Sequencing and analyzing individuals with extreme medical histories provides the greatest potential scientific value."
 
To be honest, I find Sharon Ozbourne to be more entertaining. That lady is a class act. I suspect it takes a strong will to live with Ozzy for so many years, and she should be commended for sticking by his side no matter what.

I'm sure a lot of that has to with how much she's gained from being with him. She is his manager after all.

I cant believe you just called Ozzy an idiot. Im going to go sit down and take some deep breaths, when I get back this better be fixed.

I can't believe it either. How dare he call him an idiot when it's clear he's an imbecile.

:p

At first, I read that as "she should be committed"... I would fully agree with my mis-reading.

I' think she was responsible for getting the original bass + drums from the first several ozzy CDs removed, replacing them in the studio. They didnt want to pay them royalties or thereabouts.

Fuck that shit.
 
If you read the articles on the web about this story, several point out that he has a genetic disorder "similiar to Parkinson's Disease" so I'm sure that has something to do with it as well.

They should map Keith Richards too. Between Ozzy and Keith, I'm sure scientists could find what bits of dna make these guys nearly invincible. Take those bits of DNA and put them into a thousand Terry Crews clones, and you would either have an army of super soldiers or the makings of a hilarious summer blockbuster movie.
