PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

Living forever is one of man's oldest aspirations - and it might become a reality. With advances in medicine and new gene research, the human life span could extend to hundreds of years. Cheating Death examines every side of the dilemma of aging - from the promises of science to the consequences of living an extended lifespan. Topics covered include: the science of aging and how melatonin is guiding the drive to extend life; how society will support the aging if they are "retired" for decades; food, pollution, population, and resource depletion around the world; the widening gap between poor and wealthy nations, and how life extension will increase that gap; whether people will still believe in a Creator and an afterlife; and how increased average life spans will affect national and global economies and job markets.
