In this article Dvorsky outlines possible ways to extend human life the main one being stem cell research on supercentenarians. Supercentarians are people who have lived up to 110 years old with no physical or mental hampering. In this source Dvorsky talks about using the blood of supercentarians to replenish and perhaps to bolster the stem cells of those who tend to age more quickly, thus extending life and functionality. This source would be very helpful for our paper because it again gives the audience a bit of background as to what we're researching, but it also helps gives us more ideas on where and how to research.
