Check this kid's genetics...


I think it is safe to assume this kid won't be bullied at school:

Born to lift weights, he is.

Researchers also warned that the discovery also has the potential for abuse.

Weightlifters looking to bulk up quickly have already begun using a number of untested products that claim to curb the body's production of myostatin, they noted.
I will note that its just typical of the media to portray "weightlifters" as abusive to whatever technology comes out in reguards to building muscle. How is using myostatin abusive? Whats the difference between that, and technology to decrease the signs of aging, or to help eye sight, or anything for that matter. Anything can be abused, but the author of this article thought it should throw out the idea that "weightlifters" are going to abuse this information to get huge at any cost.

Whats more abusive is subjecting a 5 year old to research in reguards to M.S. and other muscular diseases. Doesn't seem anyones paying much attention to that fact, this article simply states that bodybuilders will be interested in using this child for their own gains, when its obvious that everyone wants to use this child for something.
