Extropy Institute February Summit

Fight Aging!

Do you want to live a longer life in good health? Simple practices can make some difference, such as exercise or calorie restriction. But over the long haul all that really matters is progress in medicine: building new classes of therapy to repair and reverse the known root causes of aging. The sooner these treatments arrive, the more lives will be saved. Find out how to help »

I have a soft spot for the Extropy Institute; the Longevity Meme probably would not exist if not for the time I spent on the Institute mailing lists, and Extropy Institute founder Max More has long been a proponent of healthy life extension. The Institute is currently gearing up to oppose anti-research groups in US society and politics, kicking off the process with a summit in February. The more people who stand up to tell Leon Kass that his positions are corrupt and wrong, the better in my book. Without more strong voices to support medical research, the damage to our future health and longevity due to government policies will continue.
