I am sure Anders persuaded the audience that "In the past there was
little chance of actually doing much about ageing, so it would actually
have been rational to accept limited lifespan as any other
inevitability. But given the current technological state it seems that
the opposite is true: it would be irrational to not want to at least
fix the negative aspects of ageing". <a href="http://uvvy.com/index.php/Sandberg181206" title="Sandberg181206" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">Read more...</a></p><br>
