Can We Live Forever?: Exploring Longevity in Light of Faith and Science

"?Can We Live Forever? will make a great supplement to any college class that deals with medical or ethical issues.?

Vincent Beach, Ph. D., Dean, School of Arts and Sciences, Mountain State University

?We are very likely going to be able to use stem cell therapy in ways that will avoid all of the ethical difficulties that have been so heavily highlighted in U. S. political and other discussions over the past several years.?

Aubrey de Grey, Ph. D., chairman and chief science officer of the Methuselah Foundation and editor-in-chief of the academic journal Rejuvenation Research.


?I think in reality the best options for treatment in terms of doing it from a clinical perspective is with the patient?s own cells. . . . I think that eventually stem cells can be used for any therapy.?

Anthony Atala, M. D, Director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine


Can We Live Forever? creatively challenges readers to think through the ethics of stem cell research, longevity, and other biomedical issues in light of faith, without imposing a particular religious position. It boldly and honestly addresses ideas and questions that are rarely dealt with in ethics texts.
