MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH? Part I
Even though the extraordinary advances in medicine during the last century extended the average human life span from about 30 years at the dawning of the twentieth century to 76 at the beginning of the new millenium, man continues to consider eternal youth as a much longed-for utopia. Lifespan is still limited by the impossibility of finding new organs to replace those damaged by age, accidents or disease and by the lack of cure for cancer and infectious and cardiovascular diseases. However, scientific advances produced during the 1990´s began to plant the idea that, even if eternal youth is not yet within our grasp, extending the lifespan up to 150 years will be a possibility within the next quarter-century.

MOLECULAR AND CELULLAR MEDICINE ADVANCES = ETERNAL YOUTH?
If you have read my previous six articles you know about all the scientific efforts that are being done that could lead to the expansion of the human life span. However, all of those are related to high biotech developments: Gene therapy, xenotransplantation, stem cells, artificial organs, human cloning and gene discoveries. Now, what would you say if life span could be increased 40% just by dieting? Wouldn’t it be ironic to spend all those zillions of dollars to find out that by saving them, that is, eating less you could get to be more than 150 years old?

IGNORANCE-BACKED EXTRATERRESTRIAL, IRRESPONSIBLE HUMAN CLONING
During the last few months people around the world have been shocked by news that humans are about to be cloned. They come from two sources. An expected one: The Rael Church which made its first announcement less than six months after Dolly's cloning in 1997 and the other from a team of so called scientists, Panayiotis Zavos from the US (Not an MD), Severino Antinori(MD) from Italy and Abi Ben Abraham (MD) from Israel. Is this responsible?

OF GREEN MONKEYS and, CHRONIC PAIN
During the last few years hardly a day has passed in which a university lab or a company hasn't announced the discovery of a new disease-associated gene or of the genetic manipulation of one organism or another. Those announcements almost always end with statements like this: "This discovery is very important because it indicates that a possible cure for this or that disease is on sight." Thus, whenever you read that news you think that the problem, whatever it is, is either solved or about to be solved. What worries me, is that a lot of people rushes to make such kind of announcements before they completely understand what they are doing.
