Cancer milestone

An enzyme linked to most human cancers has finally yielded its secrets – it may

the way to more effective anti-cancer and, perhaps, anti-ageing drugs.

No thanks, sounds way too long. I could probably handle 10,000 years.

I think some excitin' Hollywood home invader would
put a cap in my ass sometime before that, but the
article you posted was interesting. Kudos.

I don't think our species will survive that long (HINT: When has
humanity invented a weapon that it didn't use??? And now the fanatics
are close)...

Additional problem - resources getting scarce **now** and population
constantly growing; add-in, the older generation not getting out of
the way for mother nature's new crew - well, you get it...

I'll take 10 more and then let me out of this mess,
