Section VI
The Future

The future is unfolding at breakneck speed.
Maybe it's just that there seems to be more of it.
Especially in the field of anti-aging.

Few discoveries are made these days that do not have some impact on the human life span. Everything from red wine to telomeres to the mapping of the human genome - all tie in one way or another with human longevity.

Each time some discovery is made, it offers yet another way of extending the life span by a little bit. And then every once in a while something big like HGH breaks onto the scene and offers the possibility of extending our lives by a quantum leap.

It is discoveries of this sort that have ignited research in the field of anti-aging and set it expanding like a prairie fire. Adding fuel to this fire is the constant possibility of cross fertilization, where a discovery in one branch of science sets off new pathways of research in others.

So when a discovery is made that deals with hormones, it may suggest something to be researched in genetics, or nutrition. Similarly for all other fields - each new discovery leads to a host of others.

What this means is that with the coming advances over the next ten, twenty, or thirty years, if you have kept yourself alive and in good shape you will be able to avail yourself of the benefits these new discoveries bring, which will likely extend your life that much further again.
