If people live longer, they will cost the system more money. Dr. Emanuel said as much. This must not be an Obamao-care funded research effort and I’m sure it’s funds will soon be drastically cut.

Unimpaired older folks will take better care of themselves and maybe even exercise to enhance their longevity. This is a crisis in the making. What are these scientists thinking? Don’t they know the Hippocratic Oath has been rescinded?

Call the CBO, call the FDA, call Dr Kervorkian, call Pelosi. This will totally skew the numbers and make 0 look bad.

Depends on how much you need. And, perhaps, if you can get fresh or, perhaps, freshly frozen grapefruit juice.

The story is here: Grapefruit juice shows promise in some cancer treatments

This from Wikipedia: “The U.S. patent for sirolimus (5,665,7220, 1993) has expired, so it is available in generic formulations. Rapamune costs about $37 a day for a 4 mg dose. Generic sirolimus is available from Canadian pharmacies, manufactured in India, for $20 a day. For patients who have difficulty paying that, the dose can be adjusted by combining it with grapefruit juice.[22]”
