The Ageless Generation: How Advances in Biomedicine Will Transform the Global Economy

Autor Alex Zhavoronkov
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2013
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.

Caracteristici

1). Controversial: The methods of life extension and research into life extension, from mechanical advancements to experimentation with stem-cell research, are extremely controversial.
2). Timely: The work goes beyond a listing to new medical achievements but discusses the impact that the extended lifespan might have on the current state of social and economic health. As the 65+ population explodes, the need to understand what the future holds is important for setting the pace of the future.
