Can We Slow the Aging Process??

Also in our lab today we talked about stem cells and someone brought up and questioned Life extension, also known as anti-aging medicine, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, refers to attempts to slow down or reverse the average lifespan. Some researchers in this area, and "life extensionists" believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation  with stem cells, molecular repair, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans through complete rejuvenation to a youthful condition. I remembered that I had recently came across a very interesting movie about this on nova this is very interesting stuff!!!!!!!!! something i could defiantly be seen being put on your blog! and worth some extra credit! Program Description  Could a gene that doubles the lifespan of tiny worms help extend human lives, too? In Hawaii, a group of exceptionally healthy elderly men—who just so happen to share a genetic link to those long-lived worms—could hold the answer.
