X-Message-Number: 1198 From: Kevin Q. Brown Subject: LIFE Extension Date: 18 Sep 1992 Subject: LIFE Extension The cover article of the October 1992 issue of LIFE magazine has the intriguing title: "Can We Stop Aging?". The author, Brad Darrach, presents several pages of intriguing evidence from recent research suggesting that aging can indeed be controlled. I was happy to see Steve Harris quoted (hopefully accurately) in the article, which gives me some confidence that Mr. Darrach knew who to interview for cutting-edge information. Unfortunately, I found the final page (his scenario for the future) surprisingly unimaginative, considering all the high-powered folks he interviewed for the previous pages. Did senility or some death meme suddenly set in before he could write it? More likely, a mehum-oriented editor inflicted that last section upon us. (See "A Note From The Editor" on page 6.) It would be interesting to see what Brad Darrach has to say about that... Kevin Q. Brown UUCP ...att!whscad1!kqb INTERNET or Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1198
