epitome of incomprehensibility

The thing on a plant.
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Stem cells, body cells that specialized cells stem from. Found in potential people at the fetal stage, or born people in their spinal cord. Hema Quebec, the blood collectors in la province bleu et blanche, sent me a package so that I can mail them back a cheek swab (no bloodletting in that) and then they can check if I'm a stem call match for someone who needs a donation. THAT part, if necessary, would require bloodletting. The last and only time I donated blood, I felt faint because I wasn't heavy enough. But if I could really save someone's life, I'd try to toughen up. The chances are small, though. Still, I should give Quebec my beautiful saliva sample just in case.
(If you're 35 or less, I encourage you to check out donating stem cells. In Canada at least, they only want donations from people under 35. Perhaps that age requirement will be moved up as the procedure becomes more common. After all, many people are living longer, even if we're not doing a great job about healthy diets.)
