TO Basie, again and again and again:

It is outright false to believe that by altering genes we incur no risks
while by using various drugs with the same effects we do.

Other than to point out that my (former) wife is now involved in breeding
horses, and I do speak to her, your comments about how they will explain
just how inbreeding explains aging look to me like total blarg. When
I discussed inbreeding in my own comments, I pointed out that inbreeding
might very well prove favorable if we inbred animals all of which had
genes promoting longevity. Your reply to this was blarg, blarg, blarg.

You may have actually convinced some on Cryonet of your ideas in this
line. That is why I have continued to reply. I have grown tired of
replying to utter nonsense and do not plan to reply again unless and
until you manage to say something substantive. 

           Best wishes and long long life to all,

                  Thomas Donaldson
