36、 remember the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping.

43、. An Incident 15 Years AgoDWhat will people die of 100 years later from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology (生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death wil
44、l come mainly from accidents, murder and war.

46、brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.

The medicine, made up of the basic build
47、ing materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on.In much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
