life extension technology

Tweet

During the late 80s life extension was becoming a powerful topic of discussion in mass magazines and jounals like scientific american ...the overall discussion was greatly focused on the reality and ethics of such technology. Then in the 90's these same media began to shift their conceptual paradigms to the WHEN and HOW of such technology...and in fact, some articles quoted the existance of such technology in 30 yrs...Today, 30 years still seems to be the standard given goal time for L.E. tech. to become a marketable reality. So, I simply want to ask...what are some very clear articles explaining the various scientific technologies like nanotechnology, bio markers and genetics etc... that explore life extension; articles that clearly explain the processes and hurdles they have overcome; where each of these technologies stand today; the processes and hurdles they still need to overcome to make LE a reality; the costs of such R & D and how this translates into the marketing of the final product and finally, articles not convoluted with the ethics or morality of such sciences - before anyone gets offended i am interested in the ethics and the effects of LE. I however believe that such technology is as inevitable as our innate need to survive and that alot of good can come from such technologies and their R & D.
