Intro:
In 2002, almost 2 million people had Botox injections to temporarily
erase their facial wrinkles. These days, many are having some rather
exotic substances being shot into their faces, a witches' brew of
injectables that includes cow collagen, liquid silicone, plastic
microbeads, synthetic bone and the ground-up skin of human cadavers.

Beyond Botox Filling wrinkles with plastic beads, liquid silicone and
the skin of human cadavers By UNMESH KHER

Sunday, May. 11, 2003 Lisa Weissman has a problem: A cluster of wrinkles
on either side of her mouth that Botox can't touch. She knows this
because she has already been given Botox   injections of dilute botulism
toxin   to smooth the furrows of her brow. And like thousands of other
women who have been Botoxed and were pleased with the results, she's
pursuing new and better ways of using a syringe to erase the other signs
of aging on her face.[cont.]

The appetite for perpetual youthfullness increases. When these measures
eventually fail they'll have only cryonics to fall back on, unless
nanotech or age reversing gene therapy orr whatever is matured by then.
The time approaches to get the cryonics alternative placed well within
their view.

Signature Memetic Virus--The worst enemy of those who now or will need
medical care is the politician and proselytizing religious bigot who
proscribes what doctors are allowed to prescribe and research, with the
consent of their patients. Those who understand this are strongly
encouraged to modify this to fit their personality, and add this to
their signature file, and organize to recover our freedom from Big
Brother. For those who wait until they are sick, it will be too late.
Those who suffer from diseases which might have been cured by fetal
tissue research or schedule 1 drugs banned by Big Brother, have the
right to hold accountable those who sat on their hands or worse,
deferred their responsibility for personal and humanity's survival to
useless gods and pontificating religious quacks, while they remained ill
and dying.
