HOW TO MAKE MONEY OFF DESPERATE OLD PEOPLE

A team of scientists in South Korea claim to have created a synthetic molecule which will help stop the aging process in humans and even reverse aging at the cellular level. Professor Kim Tae-kook, head researcher of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology said that the new molecule, named CGK733, can keep cells youthful far beyond their normal life span and can even rejuvenate older cells which have already slowed down and stopped dividing. “Theoretically, this can give youth to the elderly via rejuvenating cells,’’ said Kim, who seems to honestly believe that absolutely no detrimental side effects will be found once clinical trials on this molecule begin. If he’s right, which he isn’t, CGK733 could be commercialized and available for the public within 10 years. (Korea Times)
