Special Agent Dana Scully 

Case: 1X15/Young at Heart

Ridley's notes from the human trials at N.I.H. indicate that he didn't see aging 
as inevitable, but as an opportunistic disease, a disease that could be prevented, 
reversed even, by changing the chemical cues that trigger certain genes. However, 
there is no evidence whatsoever that Ridley's work yielded any results, or that 
his theories, all hope to the contrary, hold any validity. According to the 
leading scientific journals, projections on this kind of genetic engineering are 
at best speculative and futuristic.
