dude, life begins at 800,000

it doesn't , it only replaces the existing ones. its basically a " life on a support" thing.

Eliminate hormones? Are you sure, isn't it that they stop producing hormones?
-
not yet, but even if it could (by making it the hormone producing kind of cell) there is a further problem that our bodies also eliminate more hormones when we are older.
fantastic voyage is a great book on this topic, and lots of others more important than this one.
-
Excellent presentation.

Can bone marrow be used to grow the hormones the body loses over time?
