Smith) Newsgroups: sci.bio Subject: life extension or thereabouts Message-ID: Date: 8 Sep 89 17:51:17 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 15 Greetings, A few weeks ago I heard something on the national news regarding a small milestone in the effort to develop a means to extend the human life span. Someone apparantly came up with a drug that extended the average life span of a mouse or something without adverse effects; they noted that if this drug were safe for humans (as yet unproven), males could live to about 110 years. I'm interested in hearing about this (trivia, facts, whatever). Has anyone heard/read/seen anything related to it? Thanks, Zach T. Smith (zs04+@andrew.cmu.edu)
