for those who rant against research that is acaemic in character, i.e. not tied to some specific need nor purpose, this research is the reason it is so valuable. there is no limit to what other important things might be discovered. this is especially true when dealing with such a complex thing like the human animal. baldnes for some is important but for most people it is trivia and ignored except for the wearing of a hat in the sun
one might also understand that the whole electronics industry now supplying people with all those little gadgits came about because we decided we were going to spend very large amounts of money to do that really silly thing of putting a man on the moon.

The cure for baldness is still a long way off.My late father said that if it were possible The duke of Edinburgh (UK queens husband) and prince Charles,who have loads of money would by now have long flowing hair....

Why? I mean, I'm looking forward to the day when my baldness is a
fashion choice, a sort of reverse Mohawk. I like not getting hair in my
eyes, and it saves on barber bills.

Being follicley challenged(politicly correct term for being bald in the UK) as was my father and grandfather which is not a problem does not save on barbers bills as stated, the reason being it still grows at the side and back.Although I have pointed this out to many barbers while asking for a discount the say that the search fee for remaining hair offsets the discount for lack of hair so the price remains the same.....

I notice that Dana has a similar setup to me - very little on top plus a beard. If I go to the barber, the cost of having my beard trimmed is 60% cheaper than the haircut, even though there is (at least) 60% more hair on my face than on my head. Work that one out, if you can!

Why the non-capitalization of the first letter of the first word in your sentences. It causes me to suspect you are some kind of a nut, although your ideas and grammar are otherwise quite sound. If you want to be taken seriously in such forums as these, I respectfully recommend that you follow established standards of written English.

And, as for the "fashion choice", rest assured that baldness will NEVER be seen by women as anything other than a loss of youthful vigor.
Dream on. That day will never come.

Baldness and longevity
One thing I've noticed is that in all the pictures I've seen of men who've managed to make it into their 100s, not a single one of them is a chrome dome. They all seem to have at least a few wisps of hair left at the top of their heads.

Actually that's not how women see it. It's how men do. If all women
were looking for was a thick head of hair in a man, the supply of
baldies would drop to zero.

While there are certainly more important things out there that genetic engineering could help with, I'm glad to see progress being made for baldness. Sure it'll be too late to help me, but maybe my son can benefit from this if he needs to (or my grandkids, for that matter). Besides, I imagine this is an easy topic to get money for the research (since there's a lot of money in hair & baldness), and discoveries made here might help with breakthroughs in less well-funded but more critical areas, such as Tay-Sachs Disease.
I know nobody's commented yet asking why we're going after something as "trivial" as baldness, but in case anyone did wonder that, I wanted to put this out there.
