Immortality: How Science Is Extending Your Lifespan and Changing the World
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Avon Books
- Publish date: 09/01/1998
Description:
One day, perhaps not too long from now, death will no longer be the inevitable end of life. Dr. Bova guides readers through worldwide research into the biochemical processes that cause aging and death, and shows what scientists are discovering about stopping, perhaps even reversing these processes. He explains how science could maintain the youth and vigor of a 50-year-old indefinitely, perhaps even reversing the effects of aging. He also offers provocative thoughts on the societal consequences of such breakthroughs, as greatly extended life spans and virtual immortality transform institutions like Medicare, Social Security, pension plans, life insurance, even the very foundations of work and retirement.
