Biohacking Team withdraws from XPRIZE Healthspan - Team continues to work to improve people's health

The Biohacking Team has withdrawn from XPRIZE Healthspan.

We think the prize is a really good idea and the science behind the judging is really good. However, we are not willing to sign the competitors agreement. XPRIZE have asked that the competitors agreement be kept confidential and hence we should not give our reasons as to why we will not sign the competitors agreement. Signing the competitors agreement is a requirement for remaining in the contest, hence we need to withdraw. We wish XPRIZE Healthspan well. Finding out what can be done to increase the proportion of people's lives in good health is a really good idea.

We have, however, decided to keep the team together. Although the team was brought together to compete in XPRIZE and we are no longer doing that, we have other things to do.

We have already participated in the Biomarkers of Aging contest and the Medical Affairs Olympics. We are also running small scale biohacking coaching sessions on both the Diseases of Aging and Parkinsons Disease.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
