VOLUNTEER WITH THE METHUSELAH FOUNDATION! That would be pleasant indeed - but we have much work to do in order to reach that point:h phpThe point to take away, I think, is that we have a way to go in terms of helping people to change the way they think about aging and the possibility of extending the healthy human life span. - the latest issue of Rejuvenation Research is out too. phpMany other skills and helping hands are also required; if you have the volunteer mindset and time to give, then help the Methuselah Foundation in the fight to cure aging!<br> Our descendants will look back, I predict, and thank us for making their world of longer, healthier lives possible.<br> I have decided that I should act in support of healthy life extension research, for reasons both selfish and altruistic.<br> They are now cheerfully taking advantage of it all, however - riding the wave is half the battle in the publishing world. I don't see that as correct.<br> Your present day actions and inactions will have ever-greater consequences, good and bad, as the years pass, and it is best to be aware and prepared.<br> It's a good time to be watching progress in longevity advocacy and research; the waters are starting to rise! Competition and variety are good signs - may the best methodologies win.<br> phpThe material referenced by the Fight Aging! Activism and advocacy. This is harsh, but true.<br> </body> </html> |
