Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 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................
