Life extension, also called biomedical gerontology, is the science dedicated to understanding the processes of aging and to developing ways of slowing them down or reversing them. The goals of life extension include increasing both average and maximum lifespan, especially of humans. Existing methods are nutritionally and pharmaceutically based, while research is conducted across a wide spectrum of strategies, from nutrition to genetic engineering to cryonics.
