THE SCOTSMAN: Stem cells ‘will enable us to live to 200’

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Daniel R Brison, professor of clinical embryology and stem cell biology at the University of Manchester, said: “I don’t know of any evidence that any type of stem cells have the potential to extend life to age 200. The public should treat this with caution as it is publicity from a private company offering a commercial service banking stem cells.”
