The Next Generation: Biotechnology May Make Superhero Fanatasy a Reality

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A50958-2002Apr25.html

...........How far can this go? S. Jay Olshansky, a biodemographer at the

University of Illinois, Chicago, told Science that " anything past

130 is ridiculous. " But Haseltine of Human

Genome Sciences in Rockville thinks stem cells will ultimately prove the

route to virtual immortality, predicting that it

will one day be possible to " reseed the body with our own cells that are

made more

potent and younger, so we can repopulate the body. "

Already, life expectancy in the developed world is increasing by more than

a quarter of a year every year. When life expectancy

starts increasing by a full year every year, something like immortality is

at hand, at least for those who can afford it................
