LONGEVITY SURVEY

A very deep survey about the most important stuff in the dead serious field of staying alive aka longevity field. It’s a survey, so there are no right answers. Or are there?

You are free to skip the questions if you feel so. You can also choose multiple answers.

If scientists find a cure for old age, how long would you like to live?

<121

What is the probability that you will live to be 200 years old?

I'm certain I will

Why hasn't evolution resolve aging?

Aging is not important since animals do not survive to old age in the wild

There are constraints that make evolution of longevity impossible

Evolution prefers replication at the expense of longevity

Aging is an adaptation and is good for something

Which human life extension technology will be developed and brought to market first?

Artificial enzymes to remove extracellular matrix crosslinks

Rejuvenation of immune system

Targeted removal of senescent cells of the immune system

Biobanking and transplantation of bone marrow

Partial cell reprogramming

It's impossible to extend human life

Imagine that you are in charge of a nonprofit and you have 1 volunteer to whom you can give one of the following tasks. Which one will you choose?

Call Congress People for 5 hours a day for them to join the Longevity Science Caucus

Approach people on the streets of your city and ask how long they want to live. Those who answer more than 200, ask to call senators

Conduct mass surveys on people's attitudes towards death, aging and support for life extension ideas

Shoot a video blog about how death is bad

Shoot a video blog about the advancements of longevity research

Run a newsletter about all the longevity nonprofits

Translate everything into Chinese

Imagine that you are in control of a VC fund. Which project would you prioritize, other things being equal?

Effective protection against mutagenesis

Reduced inflammation

Reduced oxidative stress (moderate depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane)

Decrease in lipid peroxidation (LPO), cell membranes resistant to LPO, increased activity of enzymes that neutralize LPO

Effective telomere protection

Resistance to age-related neurodegeneration (increased activity of genes associated with neuroprotection)

Reducing the number and activity of transposons

Increased genome stability (increased copy number of genes associated with DNA repair)

Improving the stability of the proteome (translational accuracy of ribosomes, efficient work of proteasomes)

Increase splicing stability

Decreased activity of the insulin pathway

Stabilization of the nutrients perception

Activation of lipid metabolism

Effective cytoprotection (increased activity of the Nrf2 transcription factor)

What bold experiments would you do if possible?

Human cloning

Mammal with two heads

The maximum possible replacement of organs and tissues of a mammal

Increasing the intelligence of animals

Partial brain replacement / brain transplant

Combinatorial gene therapy of aging with multiple vectors

Assess the importance of research work on head transplantation?

It's unrealistic

Interesting in the long run

It's important regardless

What are you willing to do to increase the life extension budget in the world x 10 times?

Serve a year in jail

Being naked in a public place

Break up with a partner

Work for free for 8 hours a day for a year

Invest half your money

Donate half of your money

Go into the street demonstration

How to create visible social demand for life extension research?

Prepare petitions to sign

Build local chapters of supporters and make sure to give them meaningful tasks

Run street campaigns of bold extravagante nature

Education projects for Executives

Partner with artists

Produce a popular TV show that shows life extension in positive manner

First prove that life extension is possible

Who do you think will make the greatest contribution to life extension in the next 10 years:

Buck Institute

SENS Research Foundation

The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives

Longevity Biotech Fellowship

Which conference would you find most useful?

Discussion about the best action in life extension

Search for a combination of geroprotectors

Replacement of organs, tissues and functions

Social and political process in life extension

Decentralized Clinical Research: Organized Biohacking to Gather Clinical Data in

Formation of the "Cochrane Institute for Life Extension"

Development of a methodology for conducting clinical trials of anti-aging therapies

Longevity marketing: Building public demand for life extension

Do you have any of these longevity costs?

Experimental longevity treatments

Investments in longevity companies

Building your own longevity business

Donations to longevity nonprofits

Your own longevity nonprofit

Your annual income

< 50K

What should we try to learn about public opinion?

How many people there want to live >120?

How many people are ready to act in favor of life extension projects?

What might change their minds about longevity field?

Do people know about our field and understand what's it about?

Do they mind if tax money are going towards life extension research?

What is your primary location?
