The Fountain of Youth

If effective anti-ageing interventions were achieved, they would likely bring about profound alterations in the experiences of individual and collective life. What if modern scienctists could find the modern equivalent to the Fountain of Youth that Ponce de Len sought? This book addresses this question by exploring the ramifications of possible anti-aging interventions on both individual and collective life. Through a series of essays, it examines the biomedical goal of prolongevity from cultural, scientific, religious and ethical perspectives, offering a sweeping view into the future of aging.
