| Annotation | The basis for this short article is considerable recent discussion of the idea that the span of human life might be extended. To further our understanding, we need to look at knowledge of the biology of ageing and in particular, the role of genetics. The article is accompanied by an extract from Jonathan Swift's "Travels into several remote nations of the world. Lemuel Gulliver": immortality is overrated. |
