Does Cloning End Premature Aging?
from the mysteries-of-science dept
The answer doesn�t seem at all clear yet, mostly due to the low numbers used to measure lifespans. Although, one thing is totally clear to me (trust me I majored in molecular genetics), cloning will succeed and eventually if this premature aging issue really does exist scientists should easily be able to correct it. After all, you haven�t aged faster than your parents have you? I have a feeling it�s to do with the enzymes released during fertilisation that rebuild damaged DNA within the egg cell (the enzyme with which we should be able to use to prevent premature aging).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
