The radical extension of the human life span accompanied by improved health and vibrancy at all ages.
Superlongevity
The Superlongevity Revolution
Extended Life Span Quest for Physical Perfection
Stage I: Key Drivers
Antibiotics Improvements in public health Enhanced nutrition Heart by-pass surgery
From “Longevity to Superlongevity”Copyright 2003, Michael G. Zey, Ph.D.
Stage II: Life Expansion 2000-2075 Pushing past 100 to 125 People healthier, physically “younger” than those
in previous eras Eliminating causes of most fatal diseases Enhancement of human outer shell
Cloning Genetic engineering Stem cell research Tissue regeneration Bionics
Stage II: Key Drivers
Designer Children
Genetic Pre-Selection For Intelligence Cloning Stem Cell Therapy
The Ultra-Human Phenomenon
Enhancement of human outer shell Improved performance of all physical functions,
including brain, circulatory system, key organs. People healthier, “younger” than those in
previous eras
Quest for Ultra-Human Has Already Begun Advance Tissue Regeneration Cosmetic Surgery Sports Surgery Improved Vision Via Lasix, Laser Surgery “Superhormones”
