| Can We Live Forever?: A Sociological and Moral Inquiry 'Can We Live Forever?' addresses the modern debate about the Life Extension Project, the by-product of revolutionary developments (actual and predicted) in bio-medicine, transplantation, cosmetic surgery, genetic counselling, stem cell research, cryonics, cloning and so forth, which cumulatively promise to deliver eternal life--or at least 'prolongevity'. Bryan S. Turner is the Alona Evans Distinguished Visiting Professor of Sociology at Wellesley College, USA. |
