Real AR in our future?

[TF-Viewer]

Hmm.. is it outrageous to predict this could end up reducing a person to a quivering mass of stem cells?

[insomniac]

Again, reducing the age of just one cell is totally different than our type of age reduction. The biggest leap is basically curing cancer. If you were, in our view, to regress someone, they become who they were X years ago, which could mean not having cancer. I'd think that would certainly be useful, but you of course you'd have to find a way to do that, and you couldn't guarantee that person wouldn't get the cancer again anyway.

I don't think the original post was actually pointing out that this discovery was the straight roadway to actual AR, but more of a very small step in the direction. Just wanted to note that, because some seemed to be taking the information very literally.

Which would eventually lead to gigantism and probably to heart failures resulting from such.

So, please, learn some stuff about the real world and think it through again. I suggest a primer in philosophy. The book "Sophie's World" is good for beginners. "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is not.
It's like learning about the history of art from this...
instead of this:

Broaden your horizons, dude.
Nothing against you or anything, I just want you to be as smart as you can, not as smart as you want to be.

i do believe my mind just imploded
