Gah, that should read "our cells reproduce asexually..."

What other info do you have on this?

And what is the limitations? If we could eventually 'reprogram' a cell, how does that help a failing organ? Even though our cells divide trillions and trillions of times they get 'old'. How would reprogramming a cell to make it think it is a heart cell or something else fix things? The replacing cell is still old and will fail sooner rather than later...

To me, the key is to understanding why cells eventually break down. At the core of it, we reproduce asexually by making clones of ourselves. Clearly outside influences will take a roll...toxins, radiation, etc... but why does a cell all of a sudden decide it has divided too many times and deteriorate? For my money, figure that out and you've pretty much figured out how to cure any age related disease. Heart failure / disease, liver, kidney, gall bladder, and prostate issues.

Isn't the trick to get the cell (whether by reprogramming, cleansing, or replacement) 'healthly' again?

Yea, but who has to produce that CD? MS? Why should MS have to incur the cost of producing a CD with all browsers on it just because they sell an OS.

Will my cell phone have to ship with more options? OSX?

Or can the OS maker charge to include that CD? Or is this up to the PC distributor? Opera would love that. They'd have to pay for no one to use their software.
