These futuristic views are often criticized by scientists as daydreams that owe more to science fiction than to a sober appraisal of predictable advances. But regenerative medicine is often taken more literally to mean rejuvenation-a genuine turning back of the clock-which leads to more florid speculations about massive increases in human lifespan. These developments fuel legitimate hopes for new treatments of degenerative diseases, which, in an age of increasing longevity, represent the main focal point for prevailing anxieties about ill health and the frailties of old age. Many aspects of current biomedical research, especially in the more avant-garde areas of neuroscience and stem-cell research, are united under the alluring label 'regenerative medicine'.
Without returning to the concern for equality that was once the hallmark of the Enlightenment, radical life extension may well add to these existing inequalities, and create more resentment and strife in the future. Even in affluent societies, in which the basics of food, shelter and medicine are widely available, the grim reaper is very much class conscious. Does that mean that anti-mortality technologies are ethically innocuous? Not if we consider the reality of unequal death in today's world, in which differences in longevity highlight the gap between the haves and the have-nots. Invoking the invariance of the human condition cuts no ice as rational argument and often turns into an avowedly irrational appeal to the 'yuk reaction' that exotic technologies evoke. Their arguments, which appeal to the natural order, are either circular or self-defeating. Ethicists have often tried to argue against these endeavours, but with little success. The process takes a very long time as it is very time-consuming and rigorous.Our increased understanding of the biology of ageing has revived prospects for radical anti-ageing medicine. Ed Currie, the cultivar (breeder), of the pepper is said to be trying to get a new cultivar called Pepper X officially certified as the newest hottest pepper.
Nothing is officially hotter than a Carolina Reaper Pepper according to Guinness World Records. It is thought this is by nature’s design as this allows the birds to eat the peppers and transport the seeds to faraway lands, thus ensuring the survival of the species. Birds are said to experience no adverse reactions to eating peppers. For birds, they do not have the same pain receptors as mammals and do not even notice the heat. The pain you feel is actually limited to mammals. If you have any underlying medical conditions, talk to your doctor before consuming them. For a person who is not allergic to fruits, capsaicin, or any of the particular natural chemicals in the peppers it will likely not kill you.
