ABSTRACT

Caloric restriction has a major role to play in increased longevity. The public is only beginning to hear about the seemingly miraculous experiments in which mice on low-calorie diets for their whole lives are living to the equivalent of 140 human years. Their first job is to gather one million signatures of American voters who support this goal on a pro-immortality petition and present this document to those with governmental power. It calls for the creation of a National Institute for Immortality that would serve as a funding conduit for research in the area of super longevity. Companies must make sure that their employment strategies reflect a new demographic reality. Knowledge-retention programs that companies are establishing today will serve as models for the future. Formal mentor programs have existed in business in one form or another for at least the last twenty years. These programs are established to achieve a myriad of goals.
