Subject: [ExI] Should the US fund life-extension research?

If you think it's a good idea to fund life-extension research, please sign
this petition on the White House website:

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/include-funding-next-fiscal
-budget-life-extension-researchit-idea-whose-time-has-come/w8KnYT69?utm_sour
ce=wh.gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl

It's an initiative of the Coalition to Extend Life
(coalitiontoextendlife.org), the people behind another recent petition on
the same subject that was very successful on sciencedebate.org:

http://questions.sciencedebate.org/forums/149344-the-top-science-questions-f
acing-america-2012-edi/suggestions/2693427-should-the-united-states-fund-a-w
ar-on-aging-

The White House petition needs about 150 signatures to be put on the "front
page" (about half way there right now) and 25000 to be submitted to Obama
(non-US citizens can sign it too).

Spread the word! :-)

Cheers,
Fabio (apologies should this have been mentioned here already)

We petition the obama administration to:

include funding in the next fiscal budget for "life extension research." It
is an idea whose time has come!!!

Slowly but surely,scientists,doctors and other researchers are beginning to
understand why people age and die.Today,236 years after America's founders
wisely chose,"life"as the first unalienable right mentioned in the
Declaration of Independence we are beginning to see progress in
understanding why we age and die after a short period of time.

Seminal research is underway which may produce dramatic life extension in
humans.Support for these and other life extension measures must become a
fiscal priority in this great country.

In fact,the political leaders in our country should make,"indefinite life
extension"an issue that can bring us together as one nation pursuing the
most profound undertaking in the history of the world,"INDEFINITE LIFE
EXTENSION"
