X-Message-Number: 13454 Date: Sun, 2 Apr 2000 09:50:59 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #13443 - #13445 To Ed ("Shakehip"): The theory in what you say starts with individual cells and their survival and then goes on to suggest that this implies something about aging of whole animals. There are many steps between these two kinds of event --- so many that the events which happen to individual cells may not bear any immediately visible relation to those that happen to whole people. After all, you lost lots of cells after you were born and while your brain developed. In terms of DOING something about aging, the number of steps between death of individual cells and that of a person is large enough that it's far from clear (without much more work) just what such a relation may mean in terms of therapies --- given that it exists. References etc given on request. Best and long long life, Thomas Donaldson PS: those references may well not be on the net --- or at all easy to find if they are. Libraries, fortunately or unfortunately, still contain lots of important material. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13454
