X-Message-Number: 25335 Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2004 16:37:56 -0800 (PST) From: Scott Badger <> Subject: The Longevity Attitude Survey The members of this group are invited to participate in a survey research project titled, The Longevity Attitude Survey . It should take about 15 minutes of your time and focuses on your attitudes and beliefs regarding the significant extension of the maximum human life span. Five different areas of concern are addressed: Social, Feasibility, Ethical, Religious, and Teleological Issues. Your participation will be anonymous in that no identifying information will be collected. But please remember to mention your membership in this group when asked in the survey. Analysis will involve comparing the attitudes of various groups, identifying significant relationships between attitudes and demographic and personality variables, and determining the degree to which participants agree or disagree with members of the President s Council on Bioethics who have expressed negative attitudes toward increasing our maximum life span. Does the council s ethical stance accurately reflect that of the citizenry? Your group will be notified when the analysis is completed and a manuscript discussing the findings is available. A note of appreciation goes out to members of the Immortality Institute (imminst.org) who provided valuable feedback during the development phase of this survey. Thanks in advance for participating and let me know if you have any questions. Please read the informed consent page at: www.scottbadger.com/las/consent.htm Best wishes, Scott Badger, PhD University of Idaho Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=25335
