In the 20th century, human life expectancy grew by 30 years, according to scientists. That's the biggest life span boost, greater than in the previous 5,000 years combined. In part we have medical breakthroughs like penicillin and vaccines to thank. Another huge factor is that childbirth became much safer. Robert Lanza, the chief scientific officer of Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass., believes further advancements in health and science will continue that pattern through the 21st century and beyond. "We're really on the beginning of a new medical revolution. I think with new technologies -- going in and using the stem cells that we were starting to develop -- you could prolong lives to several hundred years," said Lanza. Continue reading…

In the wake of the Australian Senate's decision to pass the human embryo cloning legislation, another Australian research breakthrough is likely to strengthen the case for embryonic stem cell research. University of New South Wales (UNSW) academics have proven that tumours can be prevented from forming when embryonic stem cells are transplanted. Continue reading…

British scientists have warned that an impending government decision that may ban stem cell research using animal eggs will jeopardize finding treatment and cures for degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and spinal muscular atrophy. On Thursday, Britain's Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority is to announce whether such procedures should be permitted. Experts at the HFEA, the country's independent regulator of fertility and embryo research, will decide if this type of stem cell research falls within their jurisdiction, whether it is legal, and whether it should be allowed. Continue reading…
