However, if we were to consider approaching aging but celebrated scientists of some stature we may meet with some success by virtue of the fact that they would be able to appreciate a rational argument better than any pop icon. We should also note that because our ideas appear exotic at first sight, special care should be taken to advance an argument based upon suggestive experimental and theoretical considerations. I also think that we should make extra efforts to ensure that such approaches be carried out be people who are themselves conversant with scientific matters. /gary Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=11415
