I don't agree with the stones though. I do agree that this research will make people live longer in the long run, and disrupt the 'circle of life,' but I think it's very cool that the scientists found this out.

Dustin, I seriously doubt that there are any engravings at all on Stonehenge, much less that they had a way of writing a number as big as 500 million when the stones were put there around 4500 years ago.

But seriously, why would we need a gene or a drug to allow us to do the same ? its screwing with the circle of life. People need to die. Its only natural. Like yes finding a cure would be an amazing breakthrough. But seeing as the population of earth is about 6.8 billion, and its engraved in stone ( in stonehenge i believe) that in order for earth to sustain stable life the population shall not exceed 500,000,000 Persons. Scientific developements could help us have an easier and longer life, but it could also cause this planet to be overpopulated much easier.

It reduced MACE (Major Adverse Cardiac Events : chest pain, heart attack, death, etc) by an incredible 84%, virtually curing heart disease with one injection. If you can afford it, the drug has already been approved for treatment in Australia. http://bit.ly/i1pYmr The similarly stunning results of Cephalon’s cardiac stem cell drug Revascor (just published in Nature) utilize the same mechanisms.
