QUESTION:

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY The aging process is thought to be initiated at the cellular level. Among the changes that can occur after a certain number of cell divisions is the loss of a cells ability to respond to growth factors and other signals. Much research into aging is aimed at understanding such losses, with the ultimate goal of extending the human life span. Not everyone, however, agrees that this is a desirable goal. If life expectancy were greatly increased, what might be the social and ecological consequences?

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY The aging process is thought to be initiated at the cellular level. Among the changes that can occur after a certain number of cell divisions is the loss of a cells ability to respond to growth factors and other signals. Much research into aging is aimed at understanding such losses, with the ultimate goal of extending the human life span. Not everyone, however, agrees that this is a desirable goal. If life expectancy were greatly increased, what might be the social and ecological consequences?

ANSWER:


The consequences of greatly increasing the human life span could be far-reaching and have a dramatic effect on society and the environment. Such a drastic change could affect the human population and cause population growth and additional pressure on natural resources. In addition, this could enable people to live longer a
