About the book, from the publisher:
A century of advances in experimental science have revealed new insights into the biology of aging, thus making the aspiration of healthy longevity a feasible goal for public health and medicine in the twenty-first century. However, significant obstacles must be overcome to reap the societal benefits of the science of healthy aging. These include the prevalence of ageism, the dominance of the intellectual presuppositions of public health's "War Against Disease" paradigm, and the politicalization of science. This book advances a pragmatic ethical analysis designed to enhance the public understanding of the importance of healthy longevity and the scientific study of aging.Visit Colin Farrelly's website.
