pointing the way to a longer, healthier life
"We are on the verge of a revolution in medicine: understanding, treating, and ultimately preventing the causes of degenerative aging. But medical revolutions only happen if we all stand up in support of funding and research. We did it for cancer. We're doing it for Alzheimer's. We can do it for aging - and create an era of longer, healthier lives!"

About the Longevity Meme

Aging is an enemy. It saps our strength, cripples and eventually kills us. Yet there is a lack of information, advocacy and awareness of healthy life extension research, of initiatives aimed at the defeat of aging. Much of the general public thinks of aging as inevitable and natural, rather than as a medical condition that may one day be curable. Comparatively few people know that the effects of aging can be slowed with diet and lifestyle choices, just as for many other medical conditions. Ongoing research aimed at repairing known types of age-related cellular damage - aimed at true rejuvenation, in other words - does not receive the widespread publicity and support it deserves.

The Longevity Meme is a non-profit organisation, formed in mid-2001. Our goal is to encourage the development and adoption of medical technologies, lifestyles and other means that will help people live comfortably, healthily and capably for as long as they desire, well beyond the current limits of mortality. We aim to ensure that the means and potentials of healthy life extension become commonly accepted throughout the world.

Our Immediate Aims

We aim for the following at the present time:

  • Introduce more people to healthy life extension and the life extension community
  • Make it easier for people to find useful, scientific healthy life extension information
  • Raise public awareness and drive more funding into longevity research

Until healthy life extension movements become louder, more active and more mainstream, progress in defeating aging will continue to be frustratingly slow.
