Welcome to Extending Human Life. Currently, the only (non-transgenic) method of increasing maximum life span that is recognized by biogerontologists is calorie restriction with adequate nutrition. Most biomedical gerontologists believe that biomedical molecular engineering will eventually extend maximum lifespan and even bring about rejuvenation.

While most aging researchers are rather cautious, fearing a vitalist public backlash, one theoretical gerontologist not shy of expressing opinions on the extension of human lifespan is Aubrey de Grey. His theoretical project to reverse the damage called aging is called SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence). Dr. de Grey has established The Methuselah Mouse Prize to award money to researchers who can extend the maximum life span of mice.

Another proponent of extending human life is Ray Kurzweil. We have been reading Mr. Kurzweil’s books for the last decade, and they are well worth the time spent reading. Extending Human Life tracks the migration of humans as they take more control of their own human biology. Thank you for visiting and supporting Extending Human Life.
