What are some of the ETHICAL concerns related to lifespan research?
John I.
The prospect of extending human life expectancy to potentially eternal status has tantalized our species throughout recorded history. In the Web Links course tool on the left-hand side please find the video entitled VIDEO: Longevity Extension. The video features some of the recent breakthroughs in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, and bioengineering that are yet again igniting individual dreams of reaching a far more distant future than previously thought possible. I look forward to reading your responses to this often controversial topic.
