The article
This Wonderful Lengthening Lifespan said
A cure for
aging will likely come about from one or more of the following
technologies:
1. Genetic Manipulation
With the human genetic code now mapped, the race is on to find anti-aging
genes.
2. Stem Cells
While still a hot button issue, the potential of therapeutic cloning and
regenerative medicine using stem cells is enormous. Imagine growing a new
heart from your own stem cells, creating a replacement organ without the
dreaded problem of immune rejection from your body.
3. Small Biomechanical Devices
With smaller technology showing more and more promise, doctors are
willing to take a look at Microelectromechanical System, MEMS and
Nanotechnology for less invasive devices to monitor and repair aging
cells and organs.
