... Biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey has repeatedly made the argument
that biomedical science could do more to reduce death from assorted
diseases of old age by reversing aging than by researching treatments
for each disease. This paper provides evidence for his assertion. If
brain cells could be rejuvenated they'd once more break down toxic
proteins as well as they did when they were younger. Then the
incidence of Alzheimer's diease would plummet....

this means, but I think that Fidel is telling us that he's kicked the

down sides of life extension is that creatures like this will avail
themselves of it, too. Posted by Rand Simberg at ...

... There’s an interesting thread over at the Betterhumans forums,
regarding the topic of women in transhumanism. The thread opens with
the following innocuous question: Are there any women on this site? I
mean I have been through some posts and I have not found one person
with the female gender symbol on there information box. So just
wondering. ...

... I had my first conversation with an Atheist and the subject was
immortality. She describes herself as a transhumanist. Someone who
explores electronic and biological technology trends… from artificial
intelligence and uploading of human minds to 3-D metaverse worlds to
life extension and enhancement technologies. In short, she’s
interested in attaining immortality, here on earth....
No, for me, immortality in a computer doesn’t have any appeal. Too
flat. Too analytical. Emotionless. Heck, HOT. I’ll gladly enjoy my
time in this physical world, MacBook at my side, and jump at the
chance for immortality in the "coolness" of His heavenly home...

...Immortality is just around the corner? If you believe some
scientists studying how our bodies age at the cellular and molecular
levels, then it is in the realm of possibility. Personally I wouldn't
mind living longer if the aging process could be slowed or slightly
reversed.
But what are the social implications? Should we be living longer when
the planet is straining to support the current population? There is a
nice article over at livescience.com describing the possible impact
of anti-aging research on society...
