Sure, one never knows. In the book I mentioned in my opening post, most of the "cures" for aging will depend on genetic engineering being developed further. So perhaps part of the reason for writing the book, the way it was written, might have been to promote genetic research. If people think the big breakthroughs will come from genetic research, they might be encouraged to donate more money.
