Extending the Human Lifespan

by Greenhaven

Book Overview

Extending the human lifespan is good news for millions of people in their elder years, but is it wise of us to push our boundaries of medical science to do so? This collection of essays debates the topic, allowing readers to think critically and form informed opinions. Essays include whether aging is a disease that Science can cure, whether life extension is ethical, and whether living longer would actually make us 'less human.'
