31 The Superlongevity Revolution  Extended Life Span  Quest for Physical Perfection

32 Stage I : Key Drivers  Antibiotics  Improvements in public health  Enhanced nutrition  Heart by-pass surgery From “Longevity to Superlongevity” Copyright 2003, Michael G. Zey, Ph.D.

33

34 Stage II : Life Expansion  2000-2075  Pushing past 100 to 125  People healthier, physically “younger” than those in previous eras  Eliminating causes of most fatal diseases  Enhancement of human outer shell

35  Cloning  Genetic engineering  Stem cell research  Tissue regeneration  Bionics Stage II: Key Drivers

36

37

38 Designer Children  Genetic Pre-Selection For Intelligence  Cloning  Stem Cell Therapy

39 The Ultra-Human Phenomenon  Enhancement of human outer shell  Improved performance of all physical functions, including brain, circulatory system, key organs.  People healthier, “younger” than those in previous eras

40 Quest for Ultra-Human Has Already Begun  Advance Tissue Regeneration  Cosmetic Surgery  Sports Surgery  Improved Vision Via Lasix, Laser Surgery  “Superhormones”

41 The Mystique of the Superhuman  Artificial retina  Cochlear implant  Superhormones
