X-Message-Number: 24444 Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2004 11:00:03 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: reply to Kurt re brain & aging To Cryonet: A short reply to Kurt Yes, I actually knew that. The fact that they turned to making blood replacements says something about how looking at the role of the brain in aging has fallen out of style (and I mean this quite literally). Incidentally, there's even an article with Paul Segall as one of the authors in the book I mentioned in my last message. As you might guess, I do not think that line of investigation should be abandoned. And for that matter, science too is subject to styles. It should not be but it is. It's not that I think that immortality will come from study of the brain's role in aging, but that I think that aging has many levels and if you seriously want to eliminate it truly you'll have to work on every one of those levels. Best wishes and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24444
