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.
