Life Extension
Group: 4 #group-4
Relations
- Stem Cell Therapy: Stem cell therapies could potentially regenerate damaged tissues and organs, helping to treat age-related diseases.
- Longevity: Life extension aims to increase longevity and extend the human lifespan.
- Preventive Medicine: Preventive medicine and early detection of age-related diseases could help extend healthy lifespan.
- Bioethics: Life extension research raises ethical questions and concerns about the societal implications of radically extended lifespans.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and stress management can support longevity and delay aging.
- Immortality: While life extension aims to significantly extend lifespan, the concept of immortality or indefinite life extension remains a more speculative and controversial goal.
- Cryonics: Cryonics aims to preserve the body or brain at extremely low temperatures for potential future revival and life extension.
- Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology could potentially be used for targeted drug delivery, tissue repair, and other life extension applications.
- Telomere Maintenance: Maintaining telomere length is thought to be important for slowing cellular aging and extending lifespan.
- Genetic Engineering: Genetic engineering techniques could be used to modify genes related to aging and longevity.
- Transhumanism: Life extension is a key goal of the transhumanist movement, which seeks to enhance human capabilities through technology.
- Artificial Intelligence: AI could assist in analyzing large amounts of data and developing new life extension therapies and interventions.
- Regenerative Medicine: Regenerative medicine techniques like stem cell therapy and tissue engineering could help repair and rejuvenate the body.
- Anti-Aging: Anti-aging therapies and interventions are a key part of life extension research.
- Transhumanism: Many transhumanists are interested in extending the human lifespan through various means, including biotechnology.
- Calorie Restriction: Calorie restriction has been shown to extend lifespan in various organisms and is studied for its potential life-extending effects.
