apoptosis and programmed cell death

[Timothy R. Hughes]

Here's my two cents -

I think it's OK to discuss apoptosis.  I don't believe
it's been proven that apoptosis is _not_ involved in
aging, and I think this discussion is probably clearing up
the difference between apoptosis and cell senescence.
Furthermore, it is now evident that a lot more people
are reading this newsgroup than I thought!
