X-Message-Number: 8479 Date: Wed, 20 Aug 1997 14:59:47 +0100 From: John de Rivaz <> Subject: Re: Longevity report and Comments from Cornwall The current issue of "Comments from Cornwall" (my column in "The Immortalist") <http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR/comments.htm> and the latest issue of "Longevity Report" have been posted to the Web. (note - the Demon posting sometimes takes a day or two to appear. If you still get LR60, then try again tomorrow until LR61 appears.) Longevity report <http://www.longevb.demon.co.uk/lr.htm> includes the following: Complacency . John de Rivaz looks back at what Longevity Report has achieved and what still must be done. Changes. Chrissie Loveday considers the changes that have occurred over the past decades, and what most "sensible people" would have said to any predictions thereof. Genetic Manipulation of Lifespan John K Clark looks at the possibility of using genetic engineering to increase lifespan, and at what has already been done in worm experiments. Fly Experiments Douglas Skrecky continues his account of his "hands on" life extension experiments. Mice Longevity Database Douglas Skrecky Cryonics or Mere Freezing? Yvan Bozzonetti reconsiders this topic - often debated by newcomers to cryonics and here reconsidered in the light of the latest developments. Hot Cryonics Douglas Skrecky adds to the debate over whether to use a less drastic reduction in storage temperature for cryogenic storage. Antibiotics and the Fruit Fly Experiments Yvan Bozzonetti has read Douglas Skrecky's articles and has some comments about antibiotics and life extension in relation to the results obtained. What Does the Future Hold for Revived People? Roger L. Bagula is a relative newcomer to the concept of cryonics although he has been interested in what he calls "outlaw science" for some while. His current views make interesting reading here. -- ***************************************** Sincerely, * Longevity Report * * http://www.longevb.demon.co.uk/lr.htm * John de Rivaz * Fractal Report * * http://www.longevb.demon.co.uk/fr.htm * * Music I like - see homepage * ***************************************** In the information age, sharing can increase world wealth enormously, because giving information does not decrease your information. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR Fast loading, very few slow pictures Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=8479
