In today's San Jose Merc, there was a single sentence
about a group of scientists at Wake Forest University
that had developed a strain of mice that could survive 
a direct injection of cancer cells.  The sentence was 
in a section called "News of the Weird" which 
ordinarily features only the most bizarre crime 
stories, unexplainable stupidity, unsuccessful
suicide attempts, government corruption, etc.

Evidently much of even modern enlightened society
considers life extension as bizarre, undesireable, 
immoral, etc.  We have a big job ahead of us.
