Thanks, Neil deGrasse made my day - Nova Now

Viewing KERA one can't help but wonder, why doesn't everyone get all pumped up about growing body parts. Neil deGrasse makes such complicated stuff, so very easy to get excited about. Maybe because my 69th year is coming around and acquiring more MD's business cards in my wallet, than phone numbers on cocktail napkins. The show focused on longevity and how some folks have better foxo genes. Double GG's are the best. I bought the, "Live fast, die young, and have a good looking corpse" program. I never expected to reach 25. So I played hard. As Euby Blake said; "If I knew I was going to live to be this old I would've taken better care of myself." When I google names of people I have written about. It amazes me that their names show up at all and that's almost by magic. Some with start and finish dates. It grabs you when it is some one you liked and enjoyed and they're ticket got punched early. Others...not so much... Seeing deGrasse get information as precious about taking lungs or hearts cleansing them and introducing your cells into that organ and growing a new one for you is miraculous. Creating a form to grow an ear and again using your cells to grow a new one. All this without the worry of the body rejecting the new part. It feels good to know so many people are going to be helped. As a civilization maybe we will get it right....TT
