Man has been searching for the fountain of youth since the beginning of time. Wars have been waged over life-prolongation technology and this issue still captivates us in 2011. Vitamins that are guaranteed to restore vitality and increase health abound. Creams that imrpove wrinkles are hocked every day on cable television. In short, man is obsessed with living longer.
