Kevin Kelly's Life countdown clock

September 25, 2007 12:12am

Do something about getting old, (watch your life clock) and also how about supporting the Mprize foundation (www.mprize.org (now sitting at 8 million) that has the mprize, a prize for gerentology and any researchers investigateing breakthroughs in stoping, slowing down and controlling/reversing aging cellualr processes in mice models (next 10 years ?), then human models (next 15 years?)...they have allready made some breakthroughs. The research site is: www.sens.org
With all the baby boomers getting really old and a lot of them into high-tech, its about time we used the new technologies of gene-chips, bioinforamtics, nanotech etc. to find cures for aging instead, for instance, wasting 200 to 1.3 trillion on the war in Iraq (it would only take 100 mill to 1 billion to do this in mice, then humans, once its proven in mice, then govenments will be forced by their people to really commit to aging research.

So lets stop, fora example: wasting 2-billion on each stealth bomber and plow some of that money into aging research, after all, if the US does it, then a lot of other trouble-making countries like, say Iran would find it hard to justifying to their populations that they have to follow the super-powers and buy more war toys instead of spending on medical research into health and aging!
