ABSTRACT
Does justice require we extend the human lifespan by slowing the aging process? Or could such actions actually be considered unjust if they exacerbate existing health inequities or increase problems of population density and climate change? If there are conflicting or competing demands of justice in this context, how can we be begin to disentangle them so that we respond rationally and fairly to addressing the diverse stakes that arise with respect to the aspiration to extend (healthy) life? This chapter addresses these important questions by examining how the aging of the human species alters the moral landscape in novel and important ways.
