“A HUMAN BEING IS A SINGLE BEING.
UNIQUE AND
UNREPEATABLE.”
Eileen Caddy (1917–2006),
Egyptian-born author
IMMUNE SYSTEM
Unless you are an identical twin, white
blood cells in the body’s immune system are unique to you. These cells can tell
your cells apart from all of the others. That is why when a foreign cell, such
as a germ, enters your body, your white blood cells identify it as an invader
and go on the attack, engulfing and digesting it.
FINGERPRINTS
Patterns on your fingerprints are unique. They
stay the same throughout your life, and if you injure the skin’s surface, the same
prints grow back. Fingerprints were first used in 14th-century Persia (modern-day
Iran), where it was normal to add a print to official documents. Today, in the
U.S. alone, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) holds a copy of more than
50 million people’s prints.
“As we grow as unique persons, we learn to respect the uniqueness of
others.”
Robert H. Schuller
Iris
The colored area of your eye is called the
iris. Each iris is a unique blend of stripes and gaps. At the age of ten months,
the human iris is fully formed and remains the same. Iris- recognition
technology scans the iris to produce a unique pattern similar to a bar code,
which can be used for individual identification.
Originality is a by-product of sincerity.
~Marianne Moore
FACIAL STRUCTURE
You're not just a pretty face. The arrangement of your facial features
is unique to you. Cameras can capture a face in an image, and then an operator
figures out coordinates from the features, such as the distance between the
corners of the eyes and the hairline pattern.
The list of measurements is used to create a unique facial formula to
identify people for security reasons.
