X-Message-Number: 21793 Date: Sat, 24 May 2003 07:44:59 -0700 From: James Swayze <> Subject: Beyond Botox http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101030519-450972,00.html 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. H E A L T H 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. James -- Cryonics Institute of Michigan Member! The Immortalist Society Member! The Society for Venturism Member! MY WEBSITE: http://www.geocities.com/~davidpascal/swayze/ 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.
