5 simple questions to life extension supporters, 1 plus for bloggers

My plan is to make short interviews using the same 6 questions with today’s life extension supporters/bloggers around the blogosphere. The first answerer will be Reason, the engine behind Fight Aging! and Longevity Meme.

Here are the questions:

1. What is the story of your life extension commitment?

2. Is it a commitment for moderate or maximum life extension?

3. What is your favourite argument supporting human life extension?

4. What is the most probable technological draft of human life extension, which technology or discipline has the biggest chance to reach it earliest? (regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, gene therapy, caloric restriction, bionics, hormones, antioxidants, …)

5. When?

6. What can blogs do for LE?

New lingo: Stells in RegMed and TEg

Here at the beautiful Costa Brava in the Stem Cells in Tissue Engineering Conference we hear the terms stem cells, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine so many times, so here I am pleased to offer some abbreviations, which are the results of a yesterday late night beer brainstorming: Stem cells: Stells, Tissue Engineering: TEg, Regenerative Medicine: RegMed. In fact, the word stells was a misnomer at a yesterday talk.
