I am proud to announce that Science for Life Extension Foundation is one of the organizers of the 2nd international Genetics of Aging and Longevity conference. It is going to be an amazing and actually unprecedented conference focused on genetic mechanisms of aging and longevity. Check out the list of our invited speakers. I can’t wait to hear the prominent researchers sharing their experience in making model animals live longer. By the way, we are proud to have all the longevity-record braking researchers, who extended the lifespan of yeast, nematodes, fruit flies and mice. You can’t miss this meeting. I encourage you to go ahead and register. It’s the end of April, beautiful spring in Moscow. For those who have never been here before, here’s your chance to kill two birds with one stone – learn a lot about aging and discover one of the most beautiful and dynamic cities in the world.

There is a major hypocrisy in medical science that is severely restraining progress in the field of human life extension: namely the false belief that tests on volunteering human test subjects can’t endanger their health or life. Instead, the correct, ethical, and moral outlook ought to be that humans are born with a fatal and terminal genetic disease that causes them to cellularly self-destruct in a process called senescence.
If more aggressive human trials and experiments were allowed by medical ethics boards, I feel confident that we could be making much faster progress. Furthermore, (and this is only my suspicion) I believe that there are “low hang fruit” that will lead to major life extension medical treatments.
Although I am preaching to the choir here, if we could extend the (productive) lives of some of our luminaries, we could achieve a much faster rate of technological progress, because as it stands now a person only has an effective career of a few score, and then that experience and very expensive education is lost to senescence and death.
