It kind of does if you practice cannibalism!
You enrich uranium through centrifugation.
I enrich uranium through bioaccumulation.
We are not the same.
Do you call people "smoothskin"?
AARRRRG, that one hurt.
Enriching is about isotopes of the same element.
You know elements? The things that have the same chemical property?
The whole challenge of enrichment is that you want to separate atoms by mass alone, and the difference is <2%. Nobody would build many expensive centrifuges if there was another way.
I did actually know that one! Illinois EnergyProf on YouTube recently made what I think is a really good introduction to the topic. I just liked the surrealist image of a human body separating out U-235 from radiation-poisoned flesh.
