Hi all,

I'm doing a seminary work for my Ethics subject at uni, and I'd like to write about life extension in general and anti-aging in particular in relation to ethics.

Do you know any good sources, ideally online? Preferably philosophical or scientific, but others would be great too. I'm especially interested in reasoning against those frequent arguments like overpopulation etc. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know any sources but I think it is wonderful that you're taking on a subject like life extension and therefore getting our cause more coverage. Good luck in the uni project and I'm glad that you're reasoning against people's fears and showing why life extension makes sense.

Thanks Droplet. Yes, I think it's unbelievable what excuses can people come up with. I've already done one project about life extension in the past, but it was focused on the biological aspects. What's saddening is that people even find the topic interesting, but I'm afraid they almost immediately forget about it afterwards. Well, at least they hear about it.
