<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>That
reminded me of a question posed here a couple weeks </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>ago:
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Why
are not more people interested in life extension?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
think it is because of the perception that life extension
and</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>youth
extension are two different things. When I talk about</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>life
extension with coworkers, they imagine their 80 year old</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>grandmother, perhaps living not such a good life, cranky,
sick</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>a lot,
etc. They imagine living in that condition for 40
years</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>and
just say no to it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>On the
other hand, if we emphasize *youth extension* like you</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>did in
your pitch at extro4, we might get more takers. Of
course</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>there
are jillions of people selling youth extension in one form</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

another, the viagra people, the baldness cures, etc. All
we</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=614120207-19112003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>need
