life extension
Life extension is the delightfully bizarre human endeavor to postpone the inconvenient terminus called death. Overzealous faith in longevity technologies embodies the self’s cry for an ever-elusive fountain of youth. It highlights the contradiction of modern people who celebrate medical advances yet remain strangers to their full benefits. It resembles a modern alchemy where science and desire trade the promise of future flesh. Ironically, it thrusts us back to the oldest question of how to spend the extra time granted.
