Talk:Life extension

OK, Waking Life was a great film and all, but it has nothing to do with Life extension. Why is the link there? I wouldn't miss it if it were to go. MShonle 08:21, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- OK, no response, so I'll just remove the link to waking life. It's quite a stretch to consider it a related article. Maybe the link could be in the lucid dreaming article instead, but even then you'd have to make a good case for it MShonle 23:28, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Intro
"Life extension consists of attempts to extend human life beyond the natural lifespan. So far none has been proven successful in humans." --That's just not true. People's "natural" lifespan in the wild (i.e. no/crude tools) is about 40 years old, I believe (with outliers, but average age of death was much lower than today). Anybody think of a better way to phrase this? Meelar 20:16, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
half again as long
"removed lived half again as long as unmodified mice"
um. half as long or 1 1/2 times as long? - Omegatron 00:16, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
- "Half again" means 1.5 times. I doubt it would be misunderstood as 0.5 times. [[User:Nricardo|--Nelson Ricardo >>Talk<< (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Nricardo&action=edit§ion=new)]] 02:09, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
Annelid
I removed a statement to the effect that C. elegans is an "annelid worm", since I'm pretty sure it's not. Check the NCBI taxonomy database [1] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Taxonomy) to confirm if you like.
