I'm fascinated by research into growing organs of one's own genetic makeup for implantation. There was an article I read not too long ago, can't recall where, that commented on researchers growing functional, if limited, mice kidneys and successfully implanting them. Incredible. Ticker missin a beat? We'll make ya a new one! No prob! Derek

I've mentioned before that I recently turned 50. I certainly don't feel 50, and I don't think I look 50. So I found it rather uncanny yesterday when I started a conversation with a man who was sitting at the table next to mine during lunch yesterday. He was there for a case, I had just finished a status conference, so we both had some time and just talked for half an hour about this and that. I was amazed to learn that he was over 70 -- somewhere around 75. His hair was white but he looked maybe 50 to me. I can't tell if older people are just healthier these days or now that I am older, old people don't look so old. It seems like there are two kinds of people -- those that die in their 50's, and those that go on forever.
