Journalists and Longevity Science

Journalists and writers will play an important role in the coming biotechnology revolution, a period of development that will lead to the development of methods to rejuvenate the old and prevent aging. Public education and awareness ultimately determines research funding in any given field, and media efforts drive public education and awareness. The longevity medicine of the near future will only become real when enough people understand the options and resolve to fund the research.

We can view the results of this process in the fight against cancer. Once that battle became a priority in the 1970s - once people understood that cancer could be beaten - then the hard work and real scientific progress could begin. Today, the US National Cancer Institute aims to prevent all suffering and death from cancer within the foreseeable future.

We can do the same for aging and its degenerative conditions: find effective therapies and cures within a few decades, provided private and public funding rises to high enough levels. This task has to start with education and awareness, with activists, journalists and writers. You can all do your part to help make lives longer, healthier and better.
