BOSTON - No one can live forever. Or can they?

Scientists have found a way to create human embyonic stem cells in a lab. The stem cells, which can form every kind of human tissue, normally exist only for a few days at the beginning of life. As a human race, says scientist Michael West, we may see our final frontier as conquering death itself.

West's company, Advanced Cell Technology, is dedicated to the astonishing possibility. West himself, an anti-aging specialist and biotech entrepreneur, is quite confident that science has the potential to make humans immortal.

I would not underestimate the power of science and medicine, says West, to unlock the mechanisms of aging and give human beings the choice of whether they want to have a life span of 100 years, a life span of 500 years, or an indefinite life span.(cont)
