Can We Live Forever?
A Sociological and Moral Inquiry
Checking Availibility...Description
'Can We Live Forever?' addresses the modern debate about the Life Extension Project, the by-product of revolutionary developments (actual and predicted) in bio-medicine, transplantation, cosmetic surgery, genetic counselling, stem cell research, cryonics, cloning and so forth, which cumulatively promise to deliver eternal life--or at least 'prolongevity'.

Reviews
'The range and depth of Bryan Turner's writing is of international renown and in 'Can We Live Forever?' he attempts to provide both a sociological analysis of life extension and an unpacking of the moral and ethical implications of the technological advances that promise 'immortality'. [...] It makes fascinating reading.' --'Sociology of Health & Illness'
