DANCING AROUND THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

THE 11th ANNUAL SUMMER SEMINAR

OF THE CENTER FOR LITERATURE, MEDICINE, AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONS

AUGUST 2-7, 2003

HIRAM COLLEGE in Hiram, Ohio

What forces and values are driving the anti-aging movement?

What steps can or should we take to lengthen the years of our lives?

Can we slow down, stop, or even reverse the aging process? If we do that, what will be the likely consequences?

What are the ethical, social, economic, environmental, and health care issues?

What does literature tell us about those who test rejuvenating elixirs, about characters who live for centuries or forever, about those who extend lives indefinitely through technology?
