I saw a program not too long ago about how DNA degrades over time. The ends fray, break down, to the point where the cell cannot even duplicate. If the DNA is breaking down, wouldn't that also cause the coding and creating of signals and duplication of the stem cells to break down...age

I mean, look at the data she showed: the young cells don't really react differently in the old syrum. That seems to state almost conclusively that the old syrum isn't the ONLY factor.

Ban policy update:

Due to the actions of numerous repeat trolls, bans will now only be lifted on 4 month intervals, rather than 1 week intervals. Troll bans are set to be lifted on 12/15/07.

If you are worried that your comment will result in a ban, search through the already posted comments and see what caused others to be banned. Do not repeat their mistakes. If you exercise a minimal amount of tact, you will find that we are more than accommodating to both questions and valid criticisms.
