Slowed ageing, welfare, and population problems

摘要: Biological studies have demonstrated that it is possible to slow the ageing process and extend lifespan in a wide variety of organisms, perhaps including humans. Making use findings these studies, this article examines two problems concerning effect life extension on population size welfare. The first--the problem overpopulation--is as result too many people will co-exist at same time, resulting decreases average second--the underpopulation--is few existing across total I argue overpopulation highly unlikely from technologies ageing. Moreover, claim underpopulation relies claims about are false case by slowed upshot arguments discussed provide scant reason oppose
