large Congressional committee: http://www.news.com.au/world/4133941.htm

# Extending Your Life Through Genetics. Imagine taking a drug that offers
the promise of allowing you to live to be 180 " without suffering such

stuff of science fiction, thanks to new studies in genetics. While the work
has so far only be done in worms, there is every reason to think it may be
applicable to humans. http://www.jeffrense.com/ufo3/extend.htm

# Mirror helps beat paralysis. (BBC) Stroke patients with partial paralysis
could benefit from a therapy that tricks the mind into thinking the frozen
limb can move. The technique uses a reflection of the patient's good side so

been used to explore the phenomenon of phantom limbs in amputees.

female ape to go up in space, winked at my slyly and pouted her thick,
rubbery lips unmistakably -- the first of many such advances during what
would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my
career." --Martha Simpson
