摘要

The dream of delaying death has captivated humans throughout history, and over the past 150 years, improved sanitation and infectious-disease control have led to healthier and longer lives for many people. Now the golden age of genetics may bring us even closer to delaying the ultimate nemesis. Take, for example, a biotech company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with the apt name of Elixir Pharmaceuticals. Scientists there say they are working on a pill that is expected, to have an extraordinary side effect—slowing down aging and extending life span. Elixir CEO William Heiden says, "We are about two years away from putting this compound into humans for testing."
