How long you been sitting on that drawing, Has any of the researchers seen this. It could be the missing key. Hey, send it to Bill Gates and get him to cough up a few billion for the investment. This diagram should do the trick. It’s convincing everyone here you know what you’re talking about.

How is it the young bald person’s psychological damage, that I esteem them less–and I do–of a human, for having genes that make them bald?

I suppose sending the bald person to a shrink will cause me to percieve him differently?

I suppose sending the young bald person to a shrink will nullify the judgment of natural selection?

Natual selection, which has judged baldness and youth so incompatible with reproduction, as to render the combination a rare occurance.

Oh-but we fancy the inadequacy of baldness is merely psychological damage, because it’s more politically correct and it makes us feel better to blame the victim.

We could have had a cure for baldness a decade or more ago, if people weren’t afraid to face the fact of its seriousness.

We’d have had fewer people butchered by bad transplant doctors, because society would demand more oversight of doctors and greater legal recourse for butchered patients (when I sought the help of a lawyer to punish the doctor who butchered me, I couldn’t find a lawyer to take my case, because as one lawyer told me, a jury will think it was my fault for taking a risk over something as vain and trivial as baldness).

There’s at least one doctor I know of, who was banned by the AMA from performing any surgery except transplants, for botching some kind of other operation.

Why was he not also banned from performing transplants and potentially botching those? Because the AMA must consider baldness and transplants a trivial matter.

I do not spare myself from the truth, and I have no tolerance for those who do, who by so doing betray efforts to help those who suffer from hairloss.

Enough time has been wasted on this topic. Honestly, I don’t care what Bill Gates thinks. I think the comment has been misrepresented here in the first place. Enough of this, lets move on shall we?

Bill Gates is an outspoken critic of HM research.
This is a forum dedicated to all-things HM research related.

Call the Bluff !

I’d like to see most hairy men prove baldness is not big deal by shaving the top of their heads in a horsehoe pattern and wearing their hair in a horseshoe until it grows back (i.e., not to cheat by shaving it all off the next day).

I am sure the vast majority would refuse such a temporary way to live their lives as a bald man for s short while.

Then I’d ask them why they wouldn’t do it, if it’s no big deal.

(And of the small percentage who might shave the horseshoe pattern, I bet most of them would be horrified at their appearance, not having brains enough ahead of time to realize how miserable it would make them look.)

Why can’t they shave their head? That option is available to balding men too. If you think shaved looks better than horseshoe pattern, then why don’t you shave? If you do shave, why would this scenario preclude them from shaving?

Even when shaven against the grain…you’ll be able to see horse-shoe pattern of a bald-man from a mile away.

Oh for Pete’s sake!

Hairloss research is important because it could cure baldness.

I’d rather have died from a deadly disease 45 years ago, then have lived my entire adult life bald.

Are you serious or just kidding? What bad experiences have you had in life that made you feel that way.

I know ever since I started losing hair, its been on my mind every minute of the day. And that has been for 11 years straight. Its exhausting to say the least.

men with norwood 3V vertex baldness have been shown to have a much higher rate of heart disease than the general population.

personally i think its from all the stess of rejection, ridicule, lost opportunities in life, sadness and misery that goes with hair loss. probably these guys just let themselves go physically and put on a ton of weight.

cause and effect perhaps?

baldness certainly warrants more attention than getting bigger breast implants although the benefits of the latter should not be underestimated either. :wink:
