A quick question for you, Doug... Was it here or the CR-list (or both) where I read details about your cat? Anyway, you mentioned it was more like a kitten, very smallish, underdeveloped for its age. Do you think it would be successful reproducing? Is there a limit to what you consider good health even if there is life extension? If a cat (or a human) was so underdeveloped (say from a CR diet from birth) that it couldn't reproduce succesfully would it still be considered healthy? (Yes, I catch the irony with our own reproductive problems :)) I respect your preference for life extension as a goal, but what other prerequisites have you for your idea of health? How might you fill in the following blank: Life extension at the exspense of _____ would be inappropriate for me. Cheers, Kirt
