Watts-Roy Under the supervision of dissertation advisor Dr. John B. Williamson Abstract: The desire to defy the aging process and to prolong the lifespan has long captured the human imagination. Recognized as one of the most ancient known pieces of literature, the Epic of Gilgamesh documents a King’s quest to find immortality. More recent examples include the story of Ponce de Leon’s 16th century search to discover the Fountain of Youth, Sir Francis Bacon’s (1659) assertion that humans are naturally immortal “potens non mori,” and Benjamin Franklin’s desire to be preserved in a vat of madeira until science is capable of life extension.

  • Engines of Creation by K. Eric Drexler 1986, Anchor Press/Doubleday , 289 Pages
    Engines of Creation by K. Eric Drexler 1986, Anchor Press/Doubleday , 289 pages One of the watershed books of the life extension movement—or any of half a dozen names given to the rising awareness that we humans are destined to transcend our biological limitations—Engines of Creation by Dr. Eric Drexler lays out the vision for molecular-level engineering. (The approximate dimensions of molecules are in the nanometer—1 billionth of a meter—range, hence the words molecular technology and nanotechnology are synonyms.) These were heady times in the mid to late 1980s for what I'll refer to here generically as the "transhumanist" movement. In 1960s and 1970s, Dr. Robert Ettinger had laid out some blueprints for how human beings could reach the next level of evolution: The Prospect of Immortality and Man into Superman. Other scientists and humanists were also debating the ramifications of cryogenic preservation, gene therapy, cloning, nutritional enhancement, and so on. In 1982 researchers Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw came out with a bestselling book Life Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach. It's no accident the life extension and transhumanist movement coincided with the heyday of the Libertarian Party's impingement on American political consciousness—not to mention the thrust of free-market anarchist, individualist, anticorporatist, Movement of the Libertarian Left, and innumerable variations on the following theme: "We are free agents, beholden to no central political power, and rational self-interest being a good thing, why not stick

  • Selenium Qualified Health Claims Are Usable, Says Attorney
    Selenium qualified health claims are usable, says attorney Breaking News on Supplements & Nutrition - North America Selenium qualified health claims are usable, says attorney By Shane Starling, 08-Oct-2010 Related topics: Minerals, Cancer risk reduction, Respiratory health, Regulation, Health claims The legal counsel who represented Durk Pearson, Sandy Shaw and others in the recent case that forced the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to alter three approved selenium health claims, says his clients and others will use the claims. Jonathan Emord from the Virginia-based firm Emord & Associates, said the claims would be used in Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw’s licensed supplements, especially those sold through Life Extension Foundation. Members of another plaintiff in the case – Alliance for Natural Health USA – had also indicated they would employ the claims. The parties to the case, along with Emord, have been celebrating the fact the FDA had heeded a May District Court order to alter the claims, while others have wondered how usable they are given the disclaimers that the FDA does not agree with the claims themselves. The claims relate to reduction in the risk of colon, prostate, bladder and thyroid cancers. One of them reads: “Selenium may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Scientific evidence concerning this claim is inconclusive. Based on its review, FDA does not agree that selenium may reduce the risk of prostate cancer.” Savvy But despite the negative FDA language Emord said at least two consumer research studies indicated, somewhat counter intuitively, actually responded positively to such FDA disclaimers because they give the claim more credence than a claim that has not even been surveyed by the FDA.

State Attorney General Linley Pearson disagrees saying that the child neglect law does not bar prosecution. Pearson wants a jury to decide guilt or innocence.
