Anders Sandberg on "Keep on raging against aging", December 18, 2006, 10 am PST (1 pm EST, 7pm CET), uvvy island in Second Life. Extending lifespans is something many do not take seriously. It is in the realm of wishful thinking, science fiction and health gurus. But if one is concerned about the current demographic trends and the somewhat long-term future, then one ought to at least consider progress in extending lifespans as one possibility to take into account. In his report "Keep on raging against ageing" Anders Sandberg, research director of Eudoxa and transhumanist par excellence, will make a moral and scientific case for life extension.
