Progress report: research in the biology of ageing
Article Abstract:
Theoretical breakthroughs on the biology of aging in the 1960s and 1970s paved the way for a mathematical model on the evolutionary aging theory supported by empirical data. A surprising prediction that proceeds directly from this theory is that any species that reproduces via symmetrical fissioning is expected to be free from the aging process. The evolutionary hypotheses predicts that all vertebrates should exhibit aging. In principle, aging can be postponed. Problems pertaining to such may be limited by technological constraints rather than an ignorance of the process.

Trail of tears: a report from the Balkans
Article Abstract:
Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children Chmn Catherine O'Neill describes the scenario in Bosnian refugee camps.
