If, or when, children can choose their own parents, including social companion robots,

are there any cytotransport proteins or membrane channels in the oral or nasal mucosa? If there is transport of some peptide, protein, or chemical then Snorting or swishing a thing in your mouth could have 10,100,1000 times the delivered chemical, drug,
or gene therapy dose making it possible to skip the GI tract, also I have noticed that some things cause a kind of mouth pucker, suggesting hydrostatic balance can be modified with harmless things people put in their mouth, anbesol penetrates 3-4mm of
gum tissue in 14 minutes or so, so if some similar molecule works on cheek epithelia at 2 mm in less than 7 minutes (1 mm a minute) that could be a transported chemical; DMSO or an absorption/transport enhanced version of DMSO is likely to function: it
is possible things like diethylsulfoxide or dipropylsulfoxide, or dibranchedlakanesulfoxide could be oil blobs that spill around less, adhere to appliques, while still causing preferential transport of beneficial drugs and chemicals; if the
duoalkanesulfoxide has a long enough alkane it is even possible putting a halogen on it or an ethynyl group could cause some kind of multihundred times increase in transport or physiological activity, so the halogenated ethynylized duoalkanesulfoxide
could be chemically linked, possibly with an enzymatically degradeable linker to an active pharmaceutical drug;
