Healthspan extension, completeness of life and justice

Abstract

Recent progress in geroscience holds the promise of significantly slowing down or even reversing ageing and age-related diseases, and thus increasing our healthspans. In this paper, I offer a novel argument in favour of developing such technology and making it unconditionally available to everyone. In particular, I argue that justice requires that each person be provided with sufficient opportunities to have a 'complete life', that many people currently lack such opportunities, and that we would substantially improve the status quo by giving them access to anti-ageing technology.
