And with this increased possibility of achieving immortality, a growing community of people interested in immortality has formed worldwide. Organizations dedicated to great extension of human life now exist, focusing on technologies that reverse the damage caused by aging, transfer human consciousness to an artificial body, or cryogenically freeze those who hope to be brought back to life when technology to revive the body without cellular damage is developed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Science of Living Longer: Developments in Life Extension Technology\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fascinating look at the current state of the scientific research on how people can live significantly longer--and possibly even forever. The book begins with an introductory section on the historical efforts to achieve immortality in Western and other cultures. Following chapters investigate different strands of research toward the common objective of achieving a longer life or even immortality. Other chapters address topics such as the health, wellness, and fitness movement designed to help individuals live longer; the biological methods--such as cell rejuvenation--designed to defeat aging; and the use of technology to provide an exoskeleton as body parts age or to download the brain into a computer or other body. Each chapter also suggests steps an individual can take to live longer, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gini Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440857148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440857140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Gini Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47759052210431,"sku":"9781440857140","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d673c628-1e18-42e7-a90f-fb6ac64c19a3.jpg?v=1765512057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-science-of-living-longer-gini-scott-9781440857140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
