activism and education to defeat aging
"We are on the verge of a revolution in medicine: understanding, treating, and ultimately preventing the causes of degenerative aging. But medical revolutions only happen if we all stand up in support of funding and research. We did it for cancer. We're doing it for Alzheimer's. We can do it for aging - and create an era of longer, healthier lives!"

Support the Immortality Institute

The Immortality Institute is a non-profit organization working hard towards the same healthy life extension objectives as the Longevity Meme. Education, outreach and advocacy for healthy life extension are all very important - funding for rejuvenation and longevity research is determined by the popularity and publicity of healthy life extension as a cause. A selection of the Immortality Institute projects include:

We at the Longevity Meme urge you to support the Immortality Institute by becoming a member and participating in their outreach, advocacy and organizational efforts.

The Immortality Institute in a Nutshell

The mission of the non-profit Immortality Institute is simply stated: to conquer the blight of involuntary death. The Immortality Institute think tank provides a platform to facilitate necessary change and debate leading to this end. It is a place to organize education, advocacy and awareness activities relating to aging research and extending healthy lifespan.

The Immortality Institute hosts a vibrant, friendly, supportive and active online community that includes members of many other organizations with an interest in healthy life extension. You can find out more about the Immortality Institute by visiting their website:

As the name might suggest, the Immortality Institute has its eye on indefinite healthy lifespans (or "radical life extension," as it is also known). This goal is discussed realistically, as it is at the Longevity Meme, with an eye to the necessary steps to get from here to there. Developing regenerative medicine and therapies capable of addressing the root causes of aging are early and essential steps in this process.

You can read more about specific Immortality Institute membership options by following the link below.

Please take the time to indicate your support for healthy life extension research by visiting the Immortality Institute and signing up as a member. By joining as a full member, you help to support education and awareness of healthy life extension. This is a vital step on the road to mass media and public support for fully funded anti-aging research programs.

From the Longevity Meme Founder

Needless to say, I don't ask you to do anything that I haven't already done myself. I have shown my support for the Immortality Institute by joining as a life member and helping to fund their ongoing projects. Rates for yearly membership are far less than those for for life membership, and I encourage you to sign up at a price you are comfortable with. The follow page explains membership options and benefits:

Whether you sign up up or not, you should certainly visit the Immortality Institute forums to see this healthy life extension community in action:

I hope to see you there!
