Lifespans Are Long Enough. A Debate
Description
What if we didn't have to grow old and die? The average American can expect to live to about age 79, an improvement over the days before clean water and vaccines, when life expectancy was closer to 50, but still not long enough for most of us. So researchers around the world have been working on arresting the process of aging through biotechnology and finding cures to debilitating diseases. What are the ethical and social consequences of radically increasing lifespans? Should we accept a "natural" end to life, or should we find a "cure" to aging?
