"To
Im with the Advocates & Researchers for Unlimited Lifespans at Imminst.org.
Research into unlimited lifespans is underway, and the cause is growing. You may not have heard about this burgeoning field of science and philosophy. It's the idea that doing something to slow down, halt, or even reverse the aging process in people, is an ethical and necessary goal. This is to combat the myriad amount of age related diseases that presently kill over 100,000 people a day. This is also ethical in that we believe life has tremendous worth for everyone on this planet.
This might sound radical at first, but many people, including many polls of people, show that the majority of people in many countries, including the U.S., would like to live longer lives. Whether deeply religious, or not, we believe life is a wonderful thing that shouldn't go to waste. There is a lot of discussion and action, established online non-profits working for the cause, and research going on in labs right now, trying to do something about prolonging life. One of the things that is happening right now with life extension, is what Dr. Aubrey de Grey, (a British bio gerontologist,) is doing with his SENS Foundation. His idea, and foundation, is working right now in labs throughout the country whereby they are combating the 7 causes of aging. They do this using an engineering approach that will ultimately include a variety of therapies, including stem cell rejuvenation type of therapies, which in short, could repair damaged cells in our bodies.
Dr. de Grey has been featured on several American and English TV shows, including 20/20, with Barbra Walters in a special called "How to live to 150." He has also been on a popular BBC documentary, the Colbert Report, and a recent documentary on the History Channel. There is much more going on in this field as well including a prize that is up in the multimillions that will be awarded to a scientist that can keep a mouse alive the longest. I will also send you an email with the links to these sites.
The reason I am contacting you, is because we want to inform students and teachers more about what could be the most important human rights cause ever imagined. We here at imminst.org, believe every life is precious and thus worth fighting for! We want to send you a copy of a book called LifeQuest. We have recently been granted 100 copies of this book to disseminate, from another of the affiliates in this field, the co founders of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. If you are interested in receiving more copies for use in a class that you may be able to work it in to, then let us know. Please talk to teachers you think you may find to be interested in receiving more of these for their students. If you can, please encourage your colleagues to read the book and give it a review at amazon.com. We will send you these books for free. These particular books are fictional, but they spark ideas and discussion about this crucial cause. We also disseminate copies of bio gerontology engineering science for the laymen, called “Ending Aging” by Aubrey de Grey PHD and Michael Rae.
We want to get professors and students opinions on life extension, whether good or bad. To that end please consider asking teachers to make a request for as many free copies of LifeQuest or Ending Aging as they can make use of, so that perhaps, for instance, students might write an essay on the subject. We could even work out a prize to a winning essay. We would also like to invite interested students and professors to attend an online broadcast and chat called the Sunday Evening Update at imminst.org/tv. There have been many prominent scientists and enthusiasts who have been on our show, including biologist Michael Rose, Ray Kurzweil's doctor, biologist Cynthia Kenyon, and many more.
This is also part of the philosophy of Transhumanism which is a subset of humanism. It is the idea that each of us has tremendous worth as people, living on this planet, and that life right now is just too short; thus limiting our goals, dreams, and even the wonders of sharing the world with loved ones and friends. Many people, like me, would love to stay young longer, and believe it or not many great thinkers and scientists believe it is possible; the question is when.
My name is Devon Fowler and I would be happy to speak with you over the phone, or in email, anytime that you may want to. Below is my contact information.
