# You realise that then the entire punk hair colouring thing wouldn't work.

# If people had blue and pink hair.
Then it would be no different from dying or bleaching your hair natural colours.

# I know.
I just think it would be cool. You can get genetically modified babies, right? I wonder if they can mod the baby that way...

# Well it depends if human hair cells can physically create those colour pigmentations.
Which they presumably can't given the fact you don't get occasional babies with blue hair, so you'd have to make completely new hair folicles and hair strands probably modified from a completely different animal.

Though I can't off the top of my head think of an animal with green, pink or blue fur.

# The easiest way would be to get some stem cells from say a peacock and inject them into an unborn fetus, then see what comes out.
Probably a horrible abberation against man which will choke and die immediately.

there's probably not been enough people born to produce that combination of genes which would produce blue or pink hair.

hair colour being one of the characteristics which is regulated by more than one gene pair has a higher phase space.

although there's evolutionary need for us to have those genes, so its probably not the case.
