OK, my local site has been updated with the story for tonight's "Search For Immortality" Looks like they are having one person on talking about cells..... Here is a portion of the story. 48 Hours, Thursday, November 12, 10PM ET/PT Search For Immortality Among the hopeful souls you'll meet: Michael West, head of a company trying to make old human cells young again with a technique similar to cloning . Called nuclear transfer, this technique, West says, may eventually provide a supply of perfectly matched human tissues for organ transplants. This potentially unlimited supply of new, genetically matched cells would allow doctors to avoid the controversial use of fetal tissue and human eggs. Rev. Kevin Wildes of Georgetown University's Kennedy Institute for Ethics, who worries that nuclear transfer could lead to outrageous abuses. Father Wildes also fears that the new techniques are not being properly regulated. Dr. Alan Mintz, a former radiologist who's founded an anti-aging center. His recommended regimen includes doses of human growth hormone, which some doctors say can be harmful. Brian Delaney, a 35-year-old Ph.D. student in Oregon who, after reading about a low calorie diet that radically extended the lives of mice, decided to try it himself. He eats two small meals a day - lots of kale, lots of fruit and vegetables. Is it worth it? "If I can wring a few more decades out of existence," says Delaney, "and have more time to write music and understand Plato, it's worth it." Ben Levinson, who at 103 has recently taken up shotputting. He works out, drives on his own, and goes on dates with a younger woman (she's 85). What's his secret? No spicy food, he says. Mark Muhlestein, a Silicon Valley computer programmer who has signed up to be frozen when he dies, in the hope that one day science will find a way to revive him. Muhlestein, whose wife and two teenage sons have also signed up, is one of about 1000 Americans who are signed up to be "cryonically" preserved. While some researchers say that the freezing won't help them be brought back from the dead, the Muhlesteins are willing to take the chance.

Must be why CTII is so low priced and almost profitable...??? I can't remember everything I heard, but it started out talking about GERN and Immortality..Made it sound good for 48 Hours...The reporter said that CTII was actually further ahead... Later it said that 48 Hours was about "Living forever - Immortality sp?) - Talked about a cow and human cell or something and human eye and liver and heart growing back... CTII may move another few points tomorrow...Same with GERN, but percentage gain may go to CTII...and I think it should - which is probably good for a 1% gain :-)
