  • His book The Scientific Conquest of Death. is published in the name of the Immortality Institute, and yet it is really the product of his effort. Similarly, his DVD/video Exploring Life Extension. was not created under his own name, but the interviews were almost entirely produced by him.
  • ...response to tissue damage [2]... Leukocytes may also build up in small capillaries, obstructing them and leading to more ischemia[2].
  • Repeated bouts of ischemia and reperfusion injury also are thought to be a factor leading to the formation and failure to heal of chronic wounds such as pressure sores and diabetic foot ulcers[6]. Continuous pressure limits blood supply and causes ischemia, and the inflammation occurs during reperfusion. As this process is repeated, it eventually damages tissue enough to cause a wound[6].
  • the longevity of fruit flies varies inversely with ambient temperature[7]
  • According to Emsley (Emsley, John (1991). The Elements, (Second Edition), Oxford University Press. ISBN 019855818X. ) the boiling point of Tungsten is 5960K and the boiling point of Rhenium is 5900K.
    • Gender, men under age 64 are much more likely to die of coronary heart disease as women, although the gender difference declines with age. [8] (The gender difference is less pronounced in blacks than in whites, but it is still significant [9])

[edit] Meta-discussion about venue for discussion about wikifying terms

Hi Ben, I see you've been busy wikifying terms, and just wanted to make a comment. Generally, I only wikify the first instance of a term, so it doesn't appear too cluttered. --Uthbrian (talk) 07:45, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Uthbrian, Again, I have copied your comments to Talk:Life extension, because the edits made to that page are the topic of discussion. You don't need to put comments concerning anything about the Life extension page on User talk:Benbest because Life extension is on my watchlist, which I usually check more than once daily, and this will also show me any changes that have occurred at Talk:Life extension. --Ben Best 14:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quote example

In the time of spirits thoughts grew till they overtopped my head, whose offspring they yet were; they hovered about me and convulsed me like fever-phantasies -- an awful power. The thoughts had become corporeal on their own account, were ghosts, e. g. God, Emperor, Pope, Fatherland, etc. If I destroy their corporeity, then I take them back into mine, and say: "I alone am corporeal." And now I take the world as what it is to me, as mine, as my property; I refer all to myself.

– Max Stirner, The Ego and Its Own, p 15.

[edit] Mortality

Mortality refers to being susceptible to death. Humans are often referred to as mortals to distinguish them from supernatural beings, which are presumed to have immortality. The word mortality is also used to refer to death rate, the number of deaths in a given population per unit of time.
