A month or so ago, I proposed to assemble a guide to net-resources pertaining
to life extension. This is the result. Although I have attempted to avoid
making mistakes, it's worth emphasizing that this is very much an amateur
effort. I am certainly no biologist.
It is a very meagre list, and in particular there is next to nothing here
that would help any researcher. I would be interested to know where people
think research should focus, in order that progress be made as quickly and
effectively as possible.

In the pub/academic directory there are also archives on many other
health-related topics, including many newsgroup FAQs and mailing lists.
The Extropians mailing list. Subscription requests go to
alt.extropians on Usenet sees very little use.
Cryonics (from the sci.cryonics FAQ)
Mail or with subject "CRYOMSG n".
This will fetch messages from the cryonics mailing list archive, apparently.
Kevin Brown also administrates the list proper; subscription requests should
go to the same addresses. Limited archives can be found at

Note that "you will need to give the entire directory path at once to FTP."
