Evolutionary basis of ageing
Professor Cynthia Kenyon (University of California, San Francisco, USA)
Summary: Scientists have long thought that ageing just happens. Yet because of their genes, different species have different lifespans. From the roundworm C. elegans, we now know that ageing is regulated, by specific genes. These genes also influence life span in mammals, including humans. This system, and its evolution, will be discussed.

Thankyou for posting

probably seeing as Obamas made huge budget cuts to NASA. Space tourisms already a reality. Sergei Krikalev was up there 748 days. Earths becoming increasingly unhospitable and toxic. We have the resources to build a colony on Mars ten years tops.

we'll be dead by then; akin to building the house first then the foundations

lets increase lifespan so we can see the colonsiation of mars... yah? sounds like a better plan! or do both, same time :-) I want to live 100s or even thousands of years to see discoveries... life should have no limits.

Very good speaker, really engaging indeed, no matter if one agrees or not with what she is saying.

Implications are huge, but that's hardly a basis for refusing to use this.

Let's colonize Mars first and think about this later.

I would be very excited to see this type of gene technology perfected- who would want to pass up on the elusive elixir of life? Or at least help to significantly lengthen youth and life in general.
However, what about over-crowding? Scarceness of resources? Environmental damage?
It seems like a great idea in theory, but I'm highly skeptical that the reality of this coming to fruition would be quite so endearing.
