The Cryonics Timeship

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 »

The Guardian reports on the Timeship, a cryonics project that has been brewing for some time. In recent years, the founders of the Life Extension Foundation have been devoting more of their resources to improving, expanding and extending the cryonics industry - understandable, given their age and the rate of scientific progress in the fight against aging. It is a tragedy that many of the founders of the healthy life extension movement will not live long enough to fully benefit from the first wave of regenerative medicine. Cryonics should be an important medical industry; only investment, research and better business can make it so.
