Life Extension
Information on extending life expectancy to allow technologies to catch up and stop and reverse aging for good. Focussing on new technologies and treatments aimed at radical life extension, rather than the improvements in treatments of diseases covered in the health section.
Particularly interested in increased health span rather than lifespan.
Keep an eye on fountains of youth - contenders for radical reduction or reversal of aging.
