"With every tool man is perfecting his own organs, whether motor or sensory, or is removing the limits to their functioning...Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God. When he puts on his auxiliary organs he is truly magnificent; but these organs have not grown on to him and they still give him much trouble at times."
--Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents

Longer, Better Lives Program
Twenty extra years of healthy life are just as valuable in someone’s second century of life as in their first. Through the Longer, Better Lives Program we seek to make the case for longer healthier lives, addressing objections to life extension, from the alleged problem of overpopulation to the threat of ennui. We will be coordinating and seeking consultation with senior citizens groups and organizations of the disabled to help them challenge ageist and ableist attitudes that discourage the full utilization of health technology.
