Presentation Transcript

  1. Sequencing the Fountain of Youth By Cortland Rigby

  2. Origin of Age Non-replication of certain cells. Deterioration and flawing of continuously replicating cells. (Cancer, freckles, liver spots) Lipofuscin: The color of aging.

  3. Childishly Plausible Concept

  4. Cells to Target Mass tissues. (Skin, hair, digestive lining, vein and artery,and muscle tissue) Non-repairing tissues. (Nerves, lens of the eye, and brain tissues)

  5. How? Somatic Stem Cells. Control mechanism. Transdifferentiation. Preserve the longevity of the cell. Recoding a gene to continue expression indefinitely?

  6. Nothing is Ever Simple Much greater likelihood of cancer. Ethical implications of eternal life? Stigma associated with ‘Playing God’. Research issues. Transdifferentiation. Extensive knowledge and research required. Incorrect timings or false re˗development response.

  7. Justifiable Timeline • Technology not advanced enough at present. • Maybe have a timeline in four-ten years? • Difficult to know when it might even be possible to try.

  8. What to Learn • Stem Cell research needs to be funded. • Easy cures for any disease/ailment imaginable. • The research would pay for itself and make an incredible profit after.
