Today a group of medical researchers reported the discovery of something very intriguing in a type of pancreatic cancer called PanNET. Turns out PanNET is associated with mutations in two genes that help control a part of your DNA that determines whether you die.
Specifically, these genes can artificially lengthen the telomeres, caps on the ends of chromosomes that gradually erode as you grow older. Above, you can see PanNET cells - the glowing pink bits are the areas where the cancer is causing telomere extension. Usually, short telomeres are associated with disease and death. As a result, some scientists believe that keeping telomeres long could be one way to lengthen life (a few tests in mice seem to back this up). PanNET may have just given us two genetic tools to prolong life. The question is, what would a cancer-extended life be like?

Cancer-extended life?

No thanks. If I had that I think an idling car in a garage and a bottle of booze would seal my fate. I've seen people with cancer and it literally just snatches the life right from them in a year or two. I couldn't even imagine what they went through or the pain that they were in.

This type of tool could be very useful when those charity/religious TOOLS knock on your door for something . This is something I'd like to share with THEM !!!

8 months from diagnosis to death for my mom. Breast to lung cancer.

Yeah......I'm with you on this one; I couldn't possibly see anything other than prolonging the misery of a person suffering from cancer. Me? I'll just take a quick, less painful death, thankyou very much.

sorry to hear that msr & lily.

Sorry to hear. I just think they should be In a lab trying to cure cancer, not playing around trying to make zombies. Can I be wrong??

 

[mayhem]

Complex, you can avoid cell's death, yet there's no way to ensure that there won't be mutations, which eventually can lead to the worst imaginable death
