Four waves of healthy longevity ahead

"Demystifying the transhumanist agenda". That was the title given by Longevity Technology to an exclusive interview earlier this week, featuring Transhumanist UK co-founder David Wood.

The interview was conducted by Phil Newman, Editor-in-Chief at Longevity Technology, and Founder at First Longevity. Among other topics, Phil asked David about:

  • The technologies poised to change the whole landscape of research into healthy longevity
  • The four different levels of ambition which can be applied to improving healthy longevity
  • The significance of transhumanism in the field of healthy longevity.

The interview can be found here, and is available as a separate video on Vimeo.

Read on for a short summary of four oncoming waves of appreciating and applying healthy longevity - waves that can take advantage of technology to enable everyone:

  1. To "age in place" better
  2. To be "superagers", aging more slowly
  3. To be "forever young", undoing aging
  4. To transcend from human to transhuman.

Transhumanist UK welcomes the UK government's R&D roadmap

Transhumanist UK welcomes and responds to the publication of the UK government's policy paper "UK Research and Development Roadmap".

Earlier this month, the UK government published a policy document with the stated vision "to attract global talent, cut unnecessary bureaucracy and cement the UK as a world-leading science superpower".

Through a mix of curiosity and application, we have increased our understanding of ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Through inventiveness comes great progress.

Over 60 pages of A4, the policy document (PDF) contains a number of specific proposals, and requests feedback on the content. It describes itself as "the start of a big conversation on what actions need to be taken and how".

To move the conversation forwards, Transhumanist UK offers the following comments.
