TOKYO (AFP) – First came see-through frogs. Now Japanese researchers have succeeded in producing goldfish whose beating hearts can be seen through translucent scales and skin.

The transparent creatures are part of efforts to reduce the need for dissections, which have become increasingly controversial, particularly in schools.

"You can see a live heart and other organs because the scales and skin have no pigments," said Yutaka Tamaru, an associate professor in the department of life science at Mie University.

"You don't have to cut it open. You can see a tiny brain above the goldfish's black eyes."

..... and then after the children stared at them and pointed out their little fishy parts, the little fishies were flushed down the school toilets and swam back into the ocean, where they lived happily ever after.

Until a bigger fish ate them. The End

So, to save their lives, we make them mutants instead.

Maybe it's not the fish that are see-through now. Maybe everyone in the whole world just got mutant x-ray vision powers to see through that particular type of goldfish.

Just looking at that picture though I get a really strong urge to squish him.

I want to see them create the living Visible Man.

Question to ponder - Would you enjoy sex with a person who was in every other way your ideal but had see-through skin?

Yes. I mean, how cool would that be?

Well, if I get to the point of agreeing to have sex with them, I must be okay with it.
