Sounds like Hedges and Nelson are both hitting the 'r'eply command inappropriately. On the cell 'life extension' matter, the implications are worth considering--look at the social impact from discretionary methods of contraception: women's liberation, erosion of the traditional family structure, the explosive pandemic of sexually transmitted diseases, and so on. Readers of science fiction might remember Larry Niven's 'Known Space' series, where he opined on the impact of life extension on various cultures, including things like a shift in how people approach personal risk, suicide rates, definitions of legal majority. Has Wilson disclosed his social models with financial projections to the list? This scenario reminds me of his expansion on the global financial impact of things like a cancer cure (MW, you should post to the group your projections out on the cigarette/lung-cancer impact).
