Subject: I still think "evolution" within an organism contributes to aging.

Date sent:  2-JAN-1997 15:32:31 

Two years ago I suggested that some form of "evolution" cause aging. I 
still maintain that for the following reason. It does not matter at what 

experiment you look at that increases lifespan. All they are doing is improving
the survival environment for "young cells" and consequently increase in 
lifespan. Note I deliberately avoid definning what a "young cell" is. It 
does not matter. You can also do the reverse by smoking. The latter cause 
wrinkles because the environment in the skin is changed to increase the 
collagen at the expence of the elastin producing cells.
Thus you can get DNA, RNA or chloroform injection. Eat all kinds of 
health food. You will age slower. The final solution to the aging 
problem will be a cocktail of chemicals or other means that will do it 
with out anyone really understand why because so many factors are 
involved. All you have to do is to improve the environment for "young 
cells". IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS IDEA MENTION ONE SINGLE RESEARCH ON 
AGING THAT CAN NOT BE EXPLAINED BY THIS IDEA.
