| Over
the past 20 years, the biomedical research community has been delivering
hundreds of breakthroughs expected to extend human lifespan beyond thresholds
imaginable today. However, much of this research has not yet been adopted
into clinical practice, nor has it been widely publicized. Biomedicine will
transform our society forever by allowing people to live longer and to
continue working and contributing financially to the economy longer, rather
than entering into retirement and draining the economy through pensions and
senior healthcare. Old age will become a concept of the past, breakthroughs
in regenerative medicine will continue, and an unprecedented boom to the
global economy, with an influx of older able-bodied workers and consumers,
will be a reality. A leading expert in aging research, author Alex
Zhavoronkov provides a helicopter view on the progress science has already
made, from repairing tissue damage to growing functional organs from a single
cell, and illuminates the possibilities that the scientific and medical
community will soon make into realities. The Ageless Generation is
an engaging work that causes us to rethink our ideas of age and ability in
the modern world. |
