Throughout our history, humans have been fascinated by the
possibility of improving the length and quality of life. In the
past, this was the purview of poets and philosophers but
increasingly this is becoming the hard targets for science and
medicine. But what are the social, ethical and economic
ramifications of extending life?
This book highlights debates between the country's top
scientists, political experts, journalists and ethicists as the
come face to face to share their futuristic, and often radical,
predictions and views. At a time when our country's older
population is increasing at an unprecedented rate, these experts
cautiously contemplate the public policy consequences of advances
in the science of aging.
These transcripts are the products of monthly debates and
interviews hosted on SAGECrossroads.net, a unique web portal
committed to shining a bright and often controversial spotlight on
emerging issues surrounding aging research.
SAGE Crossroads is an initiative of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, SAGE KE, and the Alliance for Aging
Research.
