Line 6:
Does it make sense for researchers to work with fruitflies first, and then port their techniques to mice for later
confirmation and to collect the prize? Hopefully that would take relatively little more time and expense than doing the whole thing with fruitflies. We'd eventually need to port these techniques from mice to humans anyway, so there is a presumption that porting across species is feasible. -- [[User:WillWare|WillWare]] 20:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
I believe he's trying to double the life span of a mouse. Scientists nearly tripled the life span of a fruitfly seven years ago [http://archives.cnn.com/2000/HEALTH/12/15/live.long.ap/index.html]. Also, it's less impressive since the doubling of the life span of a fruitfly is only 80 days. [[User:Richard Cane|Richard Cane]] 10:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
