X-Message-Number: 14416 Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2000 14:35:08 +0200 From: Klaus Sames <> Subject: Life span extension Hello and hallo to all readers, Concerning "life span extending or antiaging drugs" we are to keep in mind the following simple points: #man is no worm, # long lived animals have exhausted a high number of life span extending mechanisms and we do not know if there are additional possibilities for further life extension. If whales live 200 years however, there would be hope too increase human life to analogous length #To test life extension in man will need at least 40 years # There are no parameters to test the aging rate (and influences on that rate) since aging has not yet been defined and remains an unkown process. Kind regards and good health, Klaus S. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=14416
