Mission 4: Find those who have Defied Death.
As we think of Claire Bennet's character, we can think about defying death. Although the show is amazing; the premise for this theory is not far off. Rapid cell regeneration has been explored in many super hero stories, most notably Wolverine in Xmen. Cellular regeneration is one thing, defying the death is another completely. However possible or impossible cellular regeneration is without the aid of some modern science, we may never know. But many people have felt at one time or another that they cheated death at least once. Or lived longer due to the actions of another person, or a choice they made.
Does it come down to chance, or the randomness of the universe in constant flux, or even some higher power's divine plan for our lives. When we've cheated death, what have we learned? What higher level of understanding can we impart on others? Or can those who have not experienced the same thing learn anything from us at all?
In other notes, Stem Cell Research maybe part of the key to unlocking cellular regeneration. Currently people have been aided by this research. The institute of Regenerative Medicine sounds promising. Maybe the research done with private funding will be the research that brings the highest advancements in modern science to our doors. It seems that government funded intiatives are not measuring up. And yet is this false, because when the government sets regulations for a company to disclose the results of a medical study; the medical study can be highered out to a research company that can be paid off to produce the best case scenario results. In this way the company is protected legally because they can say the research was flawed, and cannot completely be held liable should a drug fail when publicly released. A perfect example of this was the arthritus drug, Celebrex (also called Celecoxib). That was a drug, in my opinion pushed to market to quickly. Never the less, the opportunity for huge medical advancements could be in the hands of the people with the most money. What do you think? Is evolution in our brains now allowing us the ability to discover advancements in medical science, that we could not have previously seen?
