Ozzy and science who would have thought ?

for substance abuse study.
Ozzy's DNA profile will help science and health researchers. Ozzy Osbourne is famous for many things, but doctors want to know why he suffered from substance abuse for decades. Moreover, scientists want to use Osbourne's blood to create a genetic blueprint to find out why he's still alive after years of abuse.

"They're taking someone who's healthy, who should have disease, and looking at that," Jon Armstrong, Cofactor's chief marketing officer, said in a statement. "What's in the DNA, and what does it have that others don't have?" Sometime next month, Ozzy Osbourne's blood will be extracted and sent to St. Louis-based Cofactor Genomics.

Osbourne, 61, has called his existence a "modern miracle," even though the heavy metal rocket mumbles and has periodic shakes. In fact, he remains remarkably intact. In recent years, he has reportedly sobered up and even become something of a health nut.

Earlier this year, Osbourne approached Knome, a company in Cambridge, Massachusetts to have his genome mapped. Knome, which specializes in interpreting genomes to find links to disease, tapped Cofactor to do the actual sequencing of the genome -- the legwork before the interpretation begins. "His people were interested in finding out what whole genome sequencing could help them understand in terms of one's health outlook," Nathan Pearson, director of research at Knome and University City native, said in a statement. "It's a publicity coup for us."

Well he's managed to live for years with no balls so I'm not surprised at all.

and Pete goes deep.............................

Pffft. Inject him already! Put us out of his misery
