X-Message-Number: 31230 Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 08:18:06 -0800 (PST) From: Julian Conrad <> Subject: TED talk on neurological diseases The bad news: We'll see an explosion of neurological diseases around the world as the population ages -- certainly something for cryonicists to consider. The interesting news: Protein-folding disorders seem to explain a lot of these diseases. Moreover, the speaker claims that people with neurological diseases tend to suffer a lower incidence of most kinds of cancer, a correlation I hadn't heard before. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/gregory_petsko_on_the_coming_neurological_epidemic.html Regards, Julian Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=31230
