Nah. It just makes you big and green, and gives you purple pants. Hulk smash!

Also I believe if you activate some of the junk DNA you revert into a sort of dinosaur-person.
You didn't mention any downside to that. What kind of dumbass scientists do we have if they aren't willing to look into that kind of awesome future?

Batteries old man, do you have them loaded?

Because I love playing devil's advocate:
Let's say this observation runs its full 3 week length and this guy still hasn't eaten or drank a thing and his vitals are exactly the same as when he was checked in... what then? What the heck is sustaining him? 3 weeks is a big difference from 70 years, yes, but considering the human body needs water at least once a week at the very least, I'd say 3 weeks is something of an accomplishment.
Then let's assume they expand the observation to 3 months and things are the same. Is there any existing scientific theory describing what could be going on here?

[snark]At the very least this goes to show once again that David Blaine is simply an amateur when it comes to these matters.[/snark]
Forget the three month time period - three weeks would be more than impressive with no water. Ten days or so would be manageable but above that survival is increasingly unlikely. I'm sure there are plenty of plausible scientific theories about what's going on here, but none of them involve no intake of water or nutrients by any means possible.

Then either (A) the observation failed - i.e., he snuck out for cheeseburgers and wasn't caught - or (B) thermodynamics are incorrect and he will lead us to a future of unlimited free energy, yay! Sadly, (A) is much more likely.

Interesting! Cause I heard that if you do the same it will cause erratic behavior, recruitment of a dozen willing able-bodied teens, and mysterious scars that form on your back which reveals itself to be a MAP and if you follow the MAP to the point located you find a spaceship that was left by our very distant alien ancestors who reveal that humans are the great genetic experiment of another intelligent race, and that you may board the spaceship with a dozen able-bodied teens and take off for your HOME PLANET
That was a sick episode of Outer Limits at least.

A rather boring episode that they could have done without, at that.
