From
this Times article "My generation grew up being told by pre-television age parents that we were enervated addicts, who would never come to much.
I was reminded of this when the Blue Peter producer Biddy Baxter, told me about a boy who had written to her 35 years ago saying that he'd found the secret of reviving the dead: “A list of what I need. 1. Diagram of how evreything works [inside youre body]. 2. Model of a heart split in half [both halvs]” etc.
Biddy replied kindly but heard nothing more until now. He'd been thinking lately, said the man, now professor of tissue engineering in the team that regenerated that French woman's windpipe through stem-cell technology, how inspired he'd been back then by a programme on TV."
