BarryRX Dr. Weil was, in his early years, ahead of his time a new age hippie really knew his chemicals and I mean that in every sense.

His, and others research do make sense and cancer cells if they could be re-engineered so as to have a constructive vis a vis destructive growth would advance these study 10 fold.

I do believe that scientist will be able to extend a man's life ( I am not sure about women ) but it will come at a cost simply because living is a series of trade offs. As for population explosions well man has always adjusted i.e necessity is the mother of invention/technology
