Stuart A. Otto's COMMITTEE for the Elimination of Death pointed to ASCENSION. In 1982 when I discovered him, I really had no use for his approach since I was interested in "not dying" as Woody Allen put it when ask if he believes in an after life. He said he would prefer "not dying". The entire life extension / anti-aging / cryonics communities believe this too. HOW EVER....

I NOW think Otto was onto it. The dying part is not being solved as quickly as I thought it would be. And despite tech advances, nothing appears to be on the horizon, telomere extenders and stem cells notwithstanding. Multimillionnaire cryos & lifexer's are still aging and dying. The rest continue to look older. There isn't even anything coming out of young blood transfusion news let alone adrenochrome stories as bizarre as that narrative is.

The best I have now is Russell, Matzke, Ettinger's Superman Chtp 4 last page, the Doug Platt idea of telepresence from 1985-86 but extended to the quantum realm, Harold Sexton as pointed to by Edward W. Russell, all mentioned before here in this forum. I'm currently rereading Russels Prospects for Eternity and Camus, The Outsider which opens with elderly dying scenes, amazingly, since I only dug that book out of my archive yesterday and it corresponds to what I'm going through right now.

And it takes me back to Camus in Grade 12 in 1975 when I read The Plague, reminiscent of the Covid-era.
