I have been reading they are trying to use embryonic stem cells to create immortality. It reminded me of a quote on Babylon 5. This is from the last Dilgar a alien species which seems Nazi-like (she evaded authorities for years just like some Nazis)(she is speaking of her immortality serum that she developed partially through horrid experiments on prisoners during the Dilgar war). I remember hearing we brought doctors and scientists of the 3rd Reich over after the war. (how much of their research helped create parts of modern medicine?)
 
<<<Deathwalker, "You and the rest of your kind, take blind comfort in the belief that we are monsters – that you could never do what we did. The key ingredient in the anti-agathic can not be synthesized. It must be taken from living beings. For one to live forever, another one must die. You will fall upon another like wolves. It will make what we did pale by comparison. The billions who live forever will be a testimony to my work and the billions who are murdered to buy that immortality will be continuation of my work. Not like us, you will become us. That's my monument, Commander." >>>
 
Now we have scientists killing embryos, living human beings, so others may live or at least live better and hoping to get to having embryonic human die so adult humans can get life immortal. God help us.
