Doesn't mean that it couldn't be done well in the right hands.but its cells are still a "alive" like other animals even if they act different and since alien acid can completely melt a living animal, then the things infectious cells have no chance.
Quote from: Bat Chain Puller on Feb 01, 2012, 01:16:41 AMThe Thing doesn't rip you apart like a cheesy bean and rice burrito then put you back together like puzzle. It absorbs you from the outside in. Adsorbing the Aliens exoskeleton (which is acid resistant) would be the 1st and only step needed to avoid/nullify the acid defense. MacReady: "Check Mate."I'll just wait for someone else to chime in on this one. Someone who understands the chemical background of acid and how it can be chemically copied by science but not by science fiction.
