Political Struggle Against Ageing
Though a lot of scientists state that radical life extension, delaying and stopping ageing are achievable, there are still no international or national programmes focused on stopping ageing or on radical life extension. There are political forces staying for and against life extension. In 2012 in Russia, and then in USA, Israel and Netherlands the Longevity political parties started. These parties aim to provide political support to anti-ageing and radical life extension research and technologies and want to ensure fastest possible and at the same time soft societal transition to the next step: radical life extension and life without ageing, that will make it possible to provide the access to such technologies to the most of the currently living people.
