Obama’s Failures
Ed Driscoll has a roundup of links chronicling them. We have to survive another year of this, unless the Democrats in the Senate suffer from a fit of sanity and agree to remove him.
ObamaCare Has Gone Critical
…and it’s on life support:
…let’s recap. Obamacare has depressed job growth, costs are escalating at a higher rate, barely a dent has been made in the numbers of uninsured, and insurers are either exiting the markets or failing altogether. Under any other circumstances, a program that failed on its promises so badly would have all sides moving quickly to repeal it and work on a replacement. Don’t bet on that outcome from this White House and its dwindling number of Democratic supporters on Capitol Hill. They will surely try to sell us the illusion of competence and success.
Because they’re as delusional about it as they are about the war.
Aging Reversal
May be happening in the next decade.
Faster, please.
Personalized Medicine
..is a “Faustian bargain“?
Really?
This is ridiculous. The wealthy have always had more access to better medical treatment, and always will. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t develop new medical treatments.
Gene Editing And Designer Babies
Joel Achenbach attended today’s summit.
Stem Cell Implants
…to grow new teeth.
They’ve been working on this for a while, but it looks like it’s almost ready for prime time. I just got a new implant a few months ago. I hope it’s my last.
Rejuvenation
Well, this looks pretty exciting:
Systemic attenuation of the TGF-β pathway by a single drug simultaneously rejuvenates hippocampal neurogenesis and myogenesis in the same old mammal.
As an oldish mammal myself, I say “faster please.”
The Low-Fat Diet
…will be viewed by history as the worst fad diet ever. And yet Michelle’s school-lunch program continues to abuse millions of children.
Cryopreservation
This looks like a huge breakthrough in vitrification. Note that they don’t mention the implications for cryonics, though.
