This includes, as life-extensionists say, "adding life to years as well as years to life;" i.e., we'll discuss not just techniques of "extending" what in some cases might be a state of already senescent decrepitude, but also ways of restoring and maintaining youth. (The name of the group implies no stance on the merits of the book, "Life Extension," by Pearson and Shaw.) This topic has received increasing attention in recent years as research gerontologists have begun to understand the mechanisms of aging. As interest in this topic has grown, so has discussion on the Net. The discussion has been scattered across a variety of newsgroups, including bionet.molbio.aging, sci.cryonics, sci.med.nutrition, and alt.psychoactives. None of these newsgroups is appropriate to a broad discussion of life-extension: The "bionet" groups are not carried by many sites. In addition, they are designed as a medium of exchange for professional researchers, whose professional needs should be respected by other (mostly amateur) scientists. Moreover, the (intentionally) broad nature of the charter is designed to create a forum for the discussion of life-extension from a variety of scientific perspectives -- some falling within the sphere of molecular biology, some within other areas of biology, and some not in biology at all (but rather in psychology, cryonics, etc.). Sci.cryonics specializes in only one technique of life extension. Sci.med.nutrition and alt.psychoactives allow only the limited discussion of life-extension that falls within the spheres of nutrition and psychoactive drugs, respectively, and the emphasis of each is not on life-extension *per se*. A new group would consolidate the discussion, and would provide a more appropriate forum for the more general issues related to longevity, which do not fall under the purview of any current newsgroup. <> Voting period. The voting period begins as soon as this CFV is posted, and lasts until April 17th. Votes received after midnight on 4/17 won't be counted. <> How to Vote To vote, mail to bmdelane@midway.uchicago.edu. To vote YES, put "YES sci.life-extension" in the subject header. To vote NO, put "NO sci.life-extension" in the subject header. If you use rn, trn, or something similar you can hit 'r' at the end of this article and edit the "Subject:" header appropriately. (Don't worry if in my address "midway" is replaced with something else when you hit 'r'; it will still get to me.) Other unambiguous mailings will also count, but it will be less work for me if you follow the above instructions. Ideally, your emailed vote would look like one of the following: Subject: YES sci.life-extension Subject: NO sci.life-extension There will be two mass acknowledgements posted during the voting period; one will be posted around 3/31, and the other around 4/10. The final vote tally will be posted at the end of the vote. This final tally will indicate how everyone voted so that people can correct their votes if mistakes are found. If anyone votes more than once only the most recent vote will count. -Brian Delaney.
