Im curious to know for a potential future experiment of mine. I have an idea which might turn out to be very profitable.

In short, my question is:
Will starfish attempt to digest land mammals? In a more specific sense, human fat rolls? If not, is there anything you could perhaps inject into the subcutaneous layer to entice the starfish to engage in enzyme secretion?


Actually, maybe just ignore everything above this sentence. Especially if you want to steal my idea. Unless you want to help me with it. Unless you want to help me with it for the purpose of getting closer to me to steal my idea.

not entirely sure, but i see a few problems

1) starfish will eat everything, which is bad
2) your body will kill the starfish since it is a foreign organism

1_Could starfish be directed to eat only the fat by, "Seasoning" up the fat? Or perhaps just by peeling back vein/nerve tissue from their suction path.



Two: Starfish are easy to replicate, as long as they are the kind of regenerating breed.



Few other questions:
Starfish will eat "everything" you say? Is this referring to any cellular tissue? Do they have a probiscis in which they such through, or do they use the enzymes to melt through the skin?

Or instead of risking someones life from harmful bacteria or having their organs slowly digested, why not just perform liposuction?

Shut up. I have email notification turned on, and it's not so I can read shitty replies like this.

So you plan on getting enzymes that just break down fat from starfish?

Expect many many bad side effects.
