Now isn't *that* refreshing? :-) To which by private mail someone wrote: > I saw you post on the Cryonics digest, you mention Longevity-digest and > crsociety, which as you point out seems more active research is going on, This is not what I said or meant. Much active research is going on the life-extension field (although not nearly as much as I would like to see), but those groups are not doing it our even promoting it particularly, and certainly not financing it. All that I stated is that discussions in those groups take a more the approach that it must be achieved by actively practicing certain life extensions modalities and doing research to extend and elucidate these, rather than simply siting back and "eat, drink and be merry" while waiting for Nanotechnology to save us. > How do I subscribe to Longevity digest? Unfortunately, it has not been very active lately. There has been much more interesting debate and activity on the newsgroups sci.life-extension and bionet.molbio.ageing Longevity digest/list may be subscribed to by sending email to: with the body text: subscribe longevity-digest [your_email_address] If this have trouble contact the list owner/operator Brian Rowley: >What is the crsociety? This is the Calorie Restriction Society (CR Society). Calorie restriction (with adequate nutrition, sometimes called CRAN) is the only method of extension or species mean and maximum lifespan which is well proven across may species types. Whether it can achieve an extension of mean and maximum lifespan for humans is unknown, but the chances of this should be reasonably good. It is hard to practice without feeling hunger (and consequently unhappy) much of the time. However, this can be done and the main purpose of the list is to help one another practice CRAN as painlessly as possible.
