Hearing about the tangible progress that these researchers are continually making was very exciting. I noticed that there were many companies that attended this conference, which is an indication that extending health span is a prospect which is starting to garner serious consideration. ... There are a large and growing number of corporations which, although not explicitly focused on anti-aging, are developing treatments and drugs related to longevity. Gene therapy and personalized medicine are the future, and these companies know that. ... The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fightaging.org\/archives\/2003\/11\/stem-cells-regenerative-medicine-and-tissue-engineering.php\">field of regenerative medicine<\/a> is getting substantial resources. That includes <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tissue_engineering\">tissue engineering<\/a>, which is essentially growing organs.

The most common concern is that increased life spans will <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fightaging.org\/archives\/2006\/09\/overpopulation.php\">lead to overpopulation<\/a>. This fear rests on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fightaging.org\/archives\/2010\/02\/malthusian-visions.php\">false Malthusian idea<\/a> that population grows faster than our ability to provide for ourselves. We haven't run out of resources as population has grown because humans are a resource themselves, providing problem-solving ideas. Also, fertility and world population growth rates are on the decline. ... Perceptions [of longevity science] have changed. The term health extension is actually less controversial than life extension, since everyone wants robust health. There is little resistance to treatments designed to keep people healthy.\"<\/p>\n<p><span>Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/nextbigfuture.com\/2011\/10\/is-longevity-research-speeding-up.html\">http:\/\/nextbigfuture.com\/2011\/10\/is-longevity-research-speeding-up.html<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/newsletter\/latest_rss_feed.cfm\">http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/newsletter\/latest_rss_feed.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Next Big Future: \"The [SENS5] conference itself was high quality - many of the scientists that I describe in my book, 100+, were there.
