Only three years away, a variety of trends suggest a world in technological transition between the physical world of consumer electronic devices and the internal world of technology integrated into the human body. Though not a fully cybernetic time, by 2011 technology on the macroscale will begin to give way to technology on the micro- and nanoscales.

Radical Life Extension Circa 2008
Date and Time: Saturday, March 01, 2008 from 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM Arizona Time
Location: Mesa Bookmans - 1056 S. Country Club Dr., Mesa, AZ 85210, USA | Google Maps
Description:
The recent book Ending Aging by Aubrey de Grey with Michael Rae discusses the SENS approach to slowing down, repairing, and eventually eliminating the effects of aging, and then someday eliminating aging entirely. Is this approach any different than the fountains of youth proclaimed throughout recorded human history? Why are some people more convinced than ever before that defeating death is within our grasps, perhaps within mere decades?
Even if you do not support radical life extension research, or you think any real breakthroughs are centuries away, you owe it to yourself to follow along with a debate that rages from the world's laboratories to political centers like Washington, D.C., from the pages of prominent science journals to the online life extensionist, tranhumanist, and related communities. Why have critics abandoned mockery and outright dismissal of radical life extension to instead focused on new laws, policies, and veiled threats of forced deaths should the elderly live too much longer than average? Find out just were research and understanding are at today, circa 2008, and join in the discussion.
