My main gripe against the Life Extension Foundation and its magazine is all the money they invest in biotechnology.
In 1980, SAUL KENT and WILLIAM FALOON started the Life Extension Foundation (publisher of Life Extension Magazine), a membership organization that, on the one hand, informs people about the latest advances in life extension and sells dietary supplements, and on the other hand, funds life extension research by offering grants to scientists in universities and by supporting startup biotechnology companies.
Not only are SAUL KENT and WILLIAM FALOON making big bucks, but tech-industry billionaires are close associates.
The Life Extension Foundation (LEF) funds new technologies, both on a micro level (robots that can swim in your blood and repair cells) and a macro one (building space colonies and investing in asteroid mining).
One of Life Extension Magazine’s Scientific Advisory Board is AUBREY DE GREY, author of articles such as, “Biotechnology will solve the challenges of an aging population.”
Another member of its Scientific Advisory Board is STEVEN B. HARRIS, of the Lifeboat Foundation, a member of its Biotech/Medical Board, Life Extension Board, and Space Settlement Board.
Other members of its Scientific Advisory Board may or may not know about how much money LEF invests in Frankenscience.
Don’t expect “natural” sex now that Google and Calico and the Life Extension Foundation are in bed together …

Frankenscience * Farmageddon * Pharmapocalypse reveals the shocking truth of how worldwide biotechnology has been transforming our food into drugs since the 1880s. (Yes, the 1880s; that’s not a misprint.). Today’s food is almost entirely manufactured by genetic manipulation. Our scientific understanding of chemistry is still in the Stone Age compared to Mother Nature’s consummate alchemy — “all the chemistry.”
