Death Not a Negative Process, Loeb Claims Life Agent
Chicago, Dec 31. Prof Jacques Loeb announced at the American Physiological Society meeting that death is an active agent born with the egg and can be checked in sea urchin eggs by potassium cyanide. He cites unfertilized sea urchin eggs kept in weak cyanide solution remaining fertilizable after several days despite normal death. He attributes mortiferous processes to ferment-like agents counteracted by the chemical.
