Technology is rapidly advancing as is our knowledge about our biology. We are already at, or very close to a point where, with enough investment, can put a serious dent in eliminating the unnecessary suffering and death.<BR/><BR/>Regarding this comment:<BR/><BR/><I>The life span of a normal person would grow to an unimaginable number if the research can be accomplished. </I><BR/><BR/>This is an incorrect assumption. All demographic data points to a decline in population for advancing nations. If 3rd world countries can be brought up to western standards we will likely see the same declines. At some point we may actually need to incent people to have children in order to fuel the necessary economic growth of the future.GrailSearcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09429627751792132899noreply@blogger.com
