Hank Greely @HankGreelyLSJU I was quoted in the @nytimes today https://nytimes.com/2024/09/09/opinion/ivf-debate.html Oddly, in an op/ed by someone I probably disagree w/on almost everything. He quoted my prediction about widespread use (eventually) of stem-cell derived eggs & sperm in humans. He views w/alarm; I see pluses AND risks.

"Consider in vitro gametogenesis, or I.V.G., a technology under development that would allow the creation of eggs or sperm from ordinary body tissue, like skin cells. Men could become genetic mothers, women could be fathers, and people could be the offspring of one, three, four or any number of parents"

Hank Greely @HankGreelyLSJU So sad. Watch actual footage of the last known thylacine in the Hobart zoo. If my parents had lived in Tasmania, they could have seen it. And now they are all gone. And it's all our doing...for no good reason. https://youtube.com/watch?v=6gt0X-27GXM

Professor Euan Ritchie @EuanRitchie1 Today is #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay, which marks the tragic day the last Tasmanian tiger (thylacine), in captivity, died. An iconic, heartbreaking emblem of extinction.
Thanks to to Hank Greely for Tweeting just now about genetic STEM cells - in vitro gametogenesis, or I.V.G (the reconstitution of germ cell development in vitro) fr the NYTs https://x.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1833378698768306385 & the extinct Tasmanian tiger thylacine https://x.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1833349817772478591 and his parents ...

How many people and what are their names who are older than 115?
There are currently seven verified people alive who are older than 115 years old. Their names are:
Tomiko Itooka (Japan)
Inah Canabarro Lucas (Brazil)
Elizabeth Francis (United States)
Ethel Caterham (United Kingdom)
Okagi Hayashi (Japan)
María Branyas Morera (Spain)
Saturnino de la Fuente García (Spain)
It is important to note that this is a very small number of people, and that the vast majority of people do not live to be this old. The oldest verified person ever was Jeanne Calment (France), who lived to be 122 years and 164 days old.

... and Harris would probably 'rule of law' him in Georgia too ... found this conversation edifying and helpful, and think that Harris, albeit a politician, has ethics, or is ethical, and of which I'm appreciative ... and all 5:46 hours and minutes of it is above ... and as a 'snapshot' into American presidential election politics in 2024 too ... minute by minute, blow by blow ... Much less sexual innuendo in the debate last night than in the Democratic National Convention ... and glad the US federal legal system continues to interoperate with US states' legal systems in new ways ... AND especially with international law systems, and uniformed services' law systems too ... After viewing this debate, and attending the 1st Candid training, it seems as if moving forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics Institute into a newly safe Canyon 94516 may be becoming more of a reality ... I think I'm going to write a chapter on "AI and the Future of Education" explicitly - in my upcoming book as well ...

Dear Lori, Dave, Carla, and especially Ann Mei, at Candid .org all,
Greetings, and thanks so much for the Candid training today, and greetings from nonprofit CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School. I just updated further WUaS's - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368 profile adding a Pennsylvania address for this autumn 2024, but in seeking to move WUaS into a newly safe Canyon 94516 (about 8 miles southeast of Berkeley) in 2024.

Lori, when you mentioned a 'health spa' or similar, could this possibly refer to a virtual Harbin Hot Springs per Peter Norvig's article - and could World Univ & Sch even explore developing it further for nonprofit fundraising somehow?
Looking forward to 2 further Candid workshops I've signed up for in September and October, - and especially further communication and networks as they emerge.

Thanks, Scott (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/)

He received a Master's Degree in anthropology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Diploma of Research from the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on the information technology network society age, actual-virtual, physical-digital in terms of a realistic virtual earth, as STEAM field sites, and classrooms. He is World University and School's founder, president & CEO. Wiki World University and School is CC-4 best MIT OCW-centric (in 5 languages) and CC-3 Yale OYC-centric and plans to develop major universities in all ~200 countries' main and official languages, as well as wiki schools in all 7,164 living languages - scottmacleod.com (x.com/scottmacleod)
Updated mission statement in Candid as of Tue Sep 10, 2024-
World University and School's mission is free education, with free online accrediting WUaS degrees in all ~200 countries, and wiki schools in all known languages (7,164), using LLMs, AI and ML. World University and School (http://worlduniversityandschool.org - like Wikipedia with CC-4 MIT OCW) seeks also to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning through open, editable wikis. WUaS plans to accredit, first in the USA, at the university and high school levels to offer online degrees and diplomas in all countries' main languages for people from home. WUaS will facilitate the use of free CC courses as credits toward degrees. Due to the rapid spread of broadband worldwide, WUaS plans to make this accessible especially to underserved parts of the world and to poor people everywhere.
