The article states that senescent cells are non-reproducing and help limit the proliferation of tumor (cancer) cells. My interpretation is you won't grow old as fast but you're more likely to get cancer. |

I reread all that jargon and found that mention. But I think the focus is on problems such as loss of eyesight or stemming the loss of such. I can see a huge benefit in stemming going blind due to aging or bone loss if a person has no history of cancer. It sounds like a possible first step in coming up with something that could duplicate the secretions without causing buildup in the cells which leads to an incredibly long list of age problems. We are leaning closer to perfect body condition up until the exact moment of death. I am fine with this. I also am fine with misreading an article with mind numbing scientific jargon!

That's why I included the translation in the original post :) Of course, in Brave New World folks all looked like they were 23 right up until they died of old age at about 60. edit: fixed typo Edited by Andrul, Nov 4 2011, 09:08 PM.
