Injecting Liquid Metal Could Help Kill Tumours
- x0x0 12y agoI wondered if you could use computer controlled magnets in a harness to keep the metal in place for a couple weeks, then remove it. Unfortunately, transition metals appear not to be magnetic. However, why not just stick glue into the veins? It won't migrate after curing...

- pistle 12y agoO.o Drain the blood, fill the mammal with formaldehyde. That will kill the tumors. There "might" be a problem with liquid metals arriving at the heart and lungs via a blood channel? Just start human trials. Nothing could go wrong with this. Maybe try heavier metals like mercury which would sink to the feet instead of going to the heart and lungs.
