54 Scientists sign call for antiaging research

I just came across this interesting blog entry entitled “Scientists Call for Anti-Aging Research”

Independent testing has been showing that aging has been effectively slowed and lifespan increased in various disparate animal models, and a large group of scientists have signed on as a call to action for greater research funding seeing as the common fundamentals of the proven should also be applicable to slow aging in humans.

This is very interesting, and I really hope they get the funding they are after… Cross referencing the list there are alot of expert and leading Aging researchers on board, and it would be interesting to see what they could achieve if they had sufficient funding.

Common sense would say that if common age related diseases were cured from the work of this list of experts, that an enormous amount of capital would be freed from the health care system, a worthy investment to say the least.
