Now, a new study in the journal Cell Stem Cell casts these ideas in serious doubt as researchers show elderly people are more intact both cognitively and emotionally than scientists once believed.

GMO humans about to become reality… beware the emergence of unforeseen consequences

Regulators have given plans to trial DNA splicing therapy their stamp of approval, allowing humans to be genetically modified in a move that has many wondering just how far scientists will take the technology.
