Life extension, also known as antiaging medicine, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, refers to attempts to slow down or reverse the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Some researchers in this area, and "life extensionists" or "longevists" (who wish to achieve longer lives for themselves), believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation with stem cells, molecular repair, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans through complete rejuvenation to a youthful condition. The sale of putative antiaging products such as nutrition, physical fitness, skin care, hormone replacements, vitamins, supplements and herbs has become a lucrative industry, with the US market generating about $50 billion of revenue each year. Medical experts state that the use of such products has not been shown to affect the aging process, and many claims of antiaging medicine advocates have been roundly criticized by medical experts, including the American Medical Association. Bioethicists question whether and how the human lifespan should be extended. From Wikipedia under the

Could life of humans in the short future be extended im not saying how much but about 30 to 50 years Asked by furious108 - Tue Feb 17 16:41:08 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments has anyone here ever considered the idea of life extension through Alcor? Q. just today I nearly died. choked on a big piece of steak, deep in my throat. I was alone and there wasn't anyone to help me so after about 40 seconds I didn't have many other options so I actually pulled it out of my own throat with my fork (yes my throat hurts, no I'm not bleeding... yes go see a doc. I know) but anyhow, it left me thinking, this would be WAY to early to die and for that matter, anytime is too early. so, I considered to actually pursue my wonder of being sent to alcor in the untimely event of my death and go ahead and play roulette with the idea of wasting money or winning and living again afterwards. so my question is... has anyone here seriously considered alcor and if you have, whats a cheap option to go with… [cont.] Asked by Mercury 2010 - Sun Feb 22 03:51:48 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. 1. Eat more chikn. 2. you can do hemlich on yourself. 3. If Alcor can resurrect someone, they would only get the years left on their 'normal' life. You are acually gambling: they can fix what you have, wake you up, have a way to extend you life, and will still be able to pay the electric bill to keep your refrigerator on until then. 4. Considered and rejected. As a cryogenics engineer I have a pretty good idea of what happens to human tissues. Cell damage is pretty gross. Better to just preserve cells and let someone clone you when you move on. The you that you are will be gone, but the you that continues can complete the human reproductive strategy. 5.
