About the Book

Many scientists today are working to retard the aging process in humans so as to increase both life expectancy and the quality of life. Over the past decade, impressive results have been achieved in targeting the mechanisms and pathways of aging. The Quest for Human Longevity considers these scientific studies by exploring the principal biomedical anti-aging techniques and also considers cutting edge research on mental enhancements and assesses the scientific doubts of skeptics. This book is also about business.

Review :
""The Quest for Human Longevity", which describes, in great detail, the importance of money in the entrepreneurial business of life-extension and antiaging research. In the view of the author, Lewis D. Solomon, financial incentives often drive scientific innovations in antiaging studies by stimulating researchers to take risks and work hard. "The Quest for Human Longevity" lifts the curtain of secrecy regarding financial matters by providing a detailed history of eight corporations that are pursuing antiaging and life-extension interventions....will be of interest to medical students, scientists involved in bio-medical research on aging, policymakers, and biotech investors, as well as to general readers interested in compelling issues of future life extension and debates over commercialized science." --Leonid Gavrilov and Natalia Gavrilova, "The New England Journal of Medicine" ""The Quest for Human Longevity", which describes, in great detail, the importance of money in the entrepreneurial business of life-extension and antiaging research.
