Thank you.
Edit: I did read it now. As far as the article goes we are far away from any procedure to be applied to humans.
Even IF there was you take spinal water from a person time and again. The ethical implications are not so far from blood donation....
Was the ethics the point? Who can afford what treatment?
Are you claiming this cannot be applied to humans?
I strongly disagree.

@metal-brain saidNo. I claim, that an experiment on mice is "far away" from doing the same to humans. Science (and especially medicine) works slowly and methodically (though lately some PR guys took over and singular findings are published in a big way and then can't be reporduced and science takes hits from that).

@ponderable saidIf it works in mice it will more than likely work with people.

You didn't read the Nature study, did you? We are talking about young cerebrospinal fluid of the same species. We are not talking about an experimental drug. Know the difference.

Organ transplants prolong life span as well. I don't think the difference is a lot though, but maybe it depends on how many transplants and I think blood transfusions from young people help some too.

@metal-brain saidTell me again how that prolongs life rather than lucidity and what evidence you have that any rich people have taken this eoerimentsl treatment.
Infusion of cerebrospinal fluid from young mice into old mice restores memory recall in the aged animals by triggering production of the fatty myelin sheath that insulates neurons in the brain.

@kevcvs57 saidChildren's organ transplants can lengthen life span. Do you think this is merely a coincidence?
