Crowdfunding platform for research in the field of aging

Charity accounts for a very significant part of the financing of medical research, and it is logical to assume that crowdfunding will eventually acquire an equally important role. Crowdfunding is a kind of collective charity event that unites and turns into reality the desires of a diverse public. The progressive reduction in the cost of biotechnological research brings us much closer to solving such issues as stopping degenerative human aging and preventing the development of all age-related diseases through periodic restoration of the underlying cell and tissue damage. However, to do this, we all need to unite in a common impulse.

Having like-minded people always makes work easier, and the goal of creating Lifespan.io It is an association of all those interested in the issue of combating aging. This new non-profit crowdfunding initiative, which officially opened last week, presents the SENS project dedicated to the study of mitochondria, which is currently the third project in the field of aging research funded by crowdfunding. Lifespan.io The brainchild of the Life Extension Advocacy Foundation (LEAF), the initiative's staff and volunteers are working to raise funding for the most important areas of research in the field of longevity.

According to the president of LEAF and Lifespan.io Keith Comito, he and his associates were prompted to create a new initiative by the unshakable belief that centralized crowdfunding in this area will help in creating a powerful spontaneous movement dedicated to increasing the duration of a healthy human life. This can happen not only by creating a community of ideological permanent donors who directly finance research, but also by creating an accessible portal that can convey the idea of increasing life expectancy to the general public.

Lifespan.io It can also be a powerful tool for forming a dialogue around the technologies being developed to increase life expectancy. Previously, opponents of increasing life expectancy stated that this is impossible and work in this direction is a waste of time, but now critics are focusing on another aspect. They claim that such technologies are real, but they will be available only to the rich. Lifespan.io It can act as a counterbalance to this by providing everyone interested with the latest information on progress in this area and making the research results available to the public.
