I, for one, welcome our new Martian Andromeda Strain microbial overlords (Apr 22 2004 07:58 GMT) - I've been reading "A Draft Test Protocol For Detecting Possible Biohazards In Martian Samples Returned To Earth" (PDF.) It's pretty interesting -- they're even considering the possibility that Martian life might not be carbon-based: If there were a life-form on Mars based on other than carbon-containing molecules, the energies holding such molecules together would not be much different than those for proteins and polynucleotides. Hence, bond breakage by heat or gamma radiation should be similar for Earth and Mars life-forms, and sterilization conditions for Earth microorganisms should eradicate microorganisms of similar size from Mars. Irrespective of the chemical basis of any life-form, a confidence level of sterilization can be provided with only two assumptions: |

What Aging Problem? (Apr 22 2004 07:55 GMT) - In an article at Spiked, Phil Mullan takes a sharp stick to the European debate over longer life spans and social policy. As he points out, "the parts don't add up to a problem." Even if we take the leap in assuming the welfare state social model to be a useful one, the facts as reported just don't add up. Much like the environmental debate, policy decisions and proposals do not seem to be strongly connected to the real world. It is worth paying attention now, as these politicians may well be deciding what sort of healthy life extension technologies your government will allow in years to come. |
