My suspicion is that the genetics and biochemistry will turn out to be more complex than a simple yes or no.

Vastly improved diagnostic capabilities make a big difference to patient
outcomes, for example. or haven't signed up for the newsletter then

"Will therapeutic cloning create immune matching? Are you new to healthy
life extension?
a ban on all forms of human cloning sends the wrong signal to the
scientific community; it stigmatizes the research and will slow the pace
of discoveries for decades to come.
James Hughes of the World Transhumanist Association discusses the merits
of a cure for aging in the context of universal healthcare and social
costs.
" Overcoming these limitations requires embryonic stem cell research.
In research, the study of rare familial forms of a disease has often led
to major insights into the pathogenesis of more common forms. Never mind
that most of us don't have a say in these matters, politicians in the US
and elsewhere may end up seeing a mandate to further interfere in the
process of medical research. php"Steven Austad provides a good argument
for considering aging as unprogrammed decay rather than a programmed
process in the body.
Applying this sort of technology to more vital, complex organs is only a
matter of time and funding.
Age-related bone loss is a serious, widespread condition with nasty
consequences - it does not receive the attention it deserves in most
discussions of the degenerative effects of aging.
When you reach the end of the necklace, the cell dies. "I think there
are so many people now who have taken up the cause. , the X Prize
Foundation and World Technology Network have launched a program to
develop new research and technology prizes.
"Even the United States' new ambassador to the United Nations, John
Danforth, called a news conference in support of therapeutic cloning and
the urgent need for this research.
It will be a great shame if delays in developing better medicine to
fight age-related degeneration continue for many more years. The other,
a healthy representative of the White House, declared that we probably
should learn to live with what we have. htmEmbryonic stem cell research
is making progress despite legislative attacks, it seems - without
political interference, we could have been much further ahead by now.
There are people who think we should be studying longevity, but I think
quality of life is more important.
The technique helps to show how cells modify their own genetic makeup
and may allow cancer treatments to be tailored more precisely to a
patient's disease. "Programmed human aging is just a possibility.
htmlCenters for nanomedical research are coming into being these days as
well, illustrative of a healthy and expanding field of science.
If seniors didn't get sick, they wouldn't need expensive diagnostics,
drugs, treatments and nursing care. The ability to replace age-damaged
organs or tissue as required offers the possibility of greatly extended
healthy life spans. Reliability theory assumes the human body to be a
very complex machine. "Programmed human aging is just a possibility.
It is important to realize that at least the basic outlines of these
processes are understood at this time. Jay Olshansky's negative view on
the prospects for healthy life extension research. If we can see clearly
enough to prioritize cures for specific age-related conditions, why not
do the same for the root cause of degenerative conditions - the aging
process itself? "Thirty years ago, doctors thought weak bones and
osteoporosis were a natural part of aging, but today we know they are
not. In animals, embryonic stem cells already have reversed diabetes and
fixed damaged hearts. Research prizes are getting wonderful coverage in
the media these days, and this bodes well for the future - great things
come from public understanding and support. Steven Austad argues that
aging is not programmed in most organisms - it is just decay. " New
scaffold materials are made possible by advances in early nanoscale
manufacturing techniques. The attempted bans on therapeutic cloning have
caused great harm to private funding prospects over the past few years.
Varying forms of bone loss might be the next widespread age-related
condition to recieve much more attention and research funding. The chief
researcher mentioned here is not looking beyond incidental healthy life
extension, however: "My goal is not to identify aging genes because
aging is a normal outcome of human life.
Click here to participate in improving your future health and longevity!
Christopher Reeve's death, in addition to the late President Reagan's,
simply underscores the importance of this field and the need for there
to be applications of stem cell biology. phpHow Big a Research Prize to
Fund SENS?
" While progress to date is welcome, we need to move beyond incidental
life extension towards research that directly attempts to lengthen the
healthy human life span. focusing on a key component of regenerative
medicine: synthetic scaffolds and their interactions with cells. It's
given us so much more incentive and motivation.
Nonetheless, he says they do show promise for being used someday to
treat disease. htmDISCUSSIONThat is all for this issue of the
newsletter.
A look at life expectancy throughout the ages shows just how far we have
come, largely through elimination of disease, and especially childhood
disease.
but much more needs to be done yet.
htmlForbes offers a reality check on the pace of stem cell research
towards cures for age-related and other conditions. Katz, in fact, says
he's not even convinced the cells deserve to be called stem cells,
because he's not sure they really do turn into other kinds of cells when
transplanted into the body. A Therapy For Osteoporosis? Thus new drugs,
delivery techniques and diagnostic tools that make use of advances in
nanoscale manufacturing and manipulation now come under the nanomedicine
umbrella. Many scientists in this area are hotly engaged in founding
commercial ventures - and are thus not as forthcoming as they might be
about the details of their work.
We don't know whether it's true yet or not.
