Human Stem Cell Therapy Continues with 2nd Clinical Trial

Last month we alerted you to when the FDA released its hold on the first trial of an embryonic stem cell based treatment for a spinal cord injury. Now it looks as though for the second time, the Food and Drug Administration approved a company’s request to test an embryonic stem cell-based therapy on human patients.

This is such a great news from the life extension perspective. The more successful clinical trials there are, the closer we get to comprehensive cell therapies that have a huge potential not only to alleviate the current health problems, but to rejuvenate our bodies.

Paris Hilton Invests in Cryonics – For Herself & Her Pets

A number of sources ranging from the Arizona Republic to the blogosphere have reported that actress and media celebrity Paris Hilton has become a cryonics supporter and investor.

As BANG Showbiz reports, “Paris Hilton wants to be frozen with her beloved pets when she dies. The hotel heiress is keen to live forever and has invested a large sum of money in the world’s biggest suspended animation cemetery, Cryonics Institute.”

The story is incorrect, both in its characterization of the Cryonics Institute and regarding Miss Hilton. It is apparently a media hoax. Unofficial sources have informed the Cryonics Society that reports of the actress’ commitment have no basis in reality.
