	Life Extension
		One of the most important tasks of Transhumanism is the pursuit of Life Extension and eventual immortality, since aging and death represents are two of the most immediate hinders for total self-transformation and personal freedom.
		A final argument for the pursuit of Life Extension and Cryonics is that many of the visions of Transhumanism will probably not be possible within our (unaugumented) lifetimes.
		Life Extension is directed towards finding ways of slowing and halting aging, and possible repair of age-induced damage.

	Life extension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Life extension refers to an increase in maximum or average lifespan, especially in humans, by slowing down or reversing the processes of aging.
		Researchers of life extension are a subclass of biogerontologists known as "biomedical gerontologists".
		The primary life extension strategy currently is to apply available anti-aging methods in the hope of living long enough to benefit from a complete cure to aging once it is developed, which given the rapidly advancing state of biogenetic and general medical technology, could conceivably occur within the lifetimes of people living today.

		In 2003, the Life Extension Foundation funded gene-chip research comparing gene expression in calorically-restricted mice with the gene expressions of mice on various prescription drugs, including especially diabetic drugs.
		It is usually funded by life insurance, but the amount of required life insurance is impractical to purchase for the elderly, or unhealthy people in late middle age.
		Life Extension (commonly called LE) is also a fictional company appearing the motion picture Vanilla Sky (2001).

	Harry R. Moody
		If strong life extension had been in effect in centuries past, we would be doing oral histories of people who had known and worked with George Washington, and we would still have Civil War veterans alive for Ken Burns to interview in producing a TV series.
		The only proven method of life extension for mammals is caloric reduction in infancy, which is impractical for human purposes.
		If life extension does indeed represent the shadow element in us, an object of hope and fear, then we must face the issue head-on--it won't go away--avoid any temptation toward "gerontological correctness." It is far too easy to dismiss proponents of, or believers in, life-extension technology as simply deluded or just plain wrong.

		Life extension consist of attempts to extend human life beyond the current maximum lifespan.
		This does not extend maximum life span, but does increase average life-spans in a population of mice, indicating that it might does reduce metabolic damage.
		Some people interested in life extension are interested in cryonics, as an alternative to certain death from age-related damage.

		Life Extension Mix is a multi-ingredient composition of extracts from vegetables, fruits, herbs, and other food concentrates that work together to protect cellular health.
		Life Extension Mix was designed with the strictest standards of pharmaceutical purity for every nutrient included in the formula.
		Some people refer to Life Extension Mix as a multivitamin supplement, but a careful review of its ingredients shows that the formula is light years ahead of any other nutrient formula on the market.

		The intention of the extension was to avoid a gap between the close of LIFE III at the end of 2004, and the adoption of the new Community financial perspectives in 2007.
		The proposal for an extension of the programme was based on the positive assessment reached in a mid-term evaluation report.
		The last call for proposals under the extension of LIFE III was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on the 21 June 2005 (OJ C 149 of 21.06.2005).

	Life Extension Research - Timeship Cryonics
		The extension of life, the prolonging of youth, and the sustaining of health are among the oldest of human dreams, expressed in myths and stories of potions, elixirs, and fountains of youth.
		The new frontiers opened up by today's DNA research will extend life further, and we may soon be able to slow and perhaps stop aging altogether.
		This project has been conceived by people who have long been at the forefront of life extension research, and who realize that this is the moment to make a great leap forward.

	Future Hi: Life Extension Archives
		For life and intelligence, this would be the ultimate liberation - a time for celebration, and an overwhelming feeling of relief at finally having escaped any shackles towards utter freedom, joy, infinite intelligence and wisdom.
		As the stereotypical quote goes, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Ethicists sometimes quantify such satisfaction as "utility" for the sake of thought experiments; we might say that each 5 minute peak experience is worth a thousand utility points, or "utiles".
		It is not the funding of life extension research projects that immortalists should be focusing on.

	WHY LIFE EXTENSION -- OR WHY LIVE AT ALL?
		To me, discussing the value of life extension with people uninterested in extending their own lives is a great deal like suicide counseling.
		The technology of life extension may well advance rapidly enough that biological aging can be eliminated and reversed within 50 years.
		Nightmarish, dystopian visions of the future seem unlikely to me. Human life entails problem-solving, and the progress of life involves finding solutions to problems of every kind: technical and scientific as well as social, psychological, political and economic.

		Life extension starts with maintaining good health by giving the body what it needs to stay healthy...
		Of course, this "base" life span can be decreased by overloading your body with pollutants like cigarette smoke, herbicides, pesticides, etc. However, by doing everything right - you will not only extend your life span...
		for example, a 100 year old person that can swim and is mentally lucid (and is contributing to life) has a better life than a 50-year-old with emphysema and oxygen starvation to the brain.

	Hormone Replacement Therapy, Dr. Edmund Chein, Palm Springs Life Extension Institute, Life, Turn Back The Hands of Time
		When the life span of a seagull is up, it simply falls into the ocean and dies.
		The discovery of the telomere, that portion of human DNA that controls life span in cells, is one such development.
		The Palm Springs Life Extension Institute was the first in the United States to discover, advocate, and patent total hormone balancing therapy.

		This modern ease of communication opens up enormous opportunities for growth in the healthy life extension community, since everyone has wider access to the "feeder groups" (libertarians, transhumanists, extropians, dieters, health enthusiasts, and so forth) that are closely associated with parts of the wider community.
		Hormone therapies do not have the scientific credibility of other older healthy life extension technologies, and studies are very divided on their use and usefulness.
		The Life Extension Foundation founders are also deeply involved in the growth of the cryonics industry.
