'''Life extension''', also known as anti-aging [[medicine]], [[experimental]] gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, refers to attempts to slow down or reverse the [[processes]] of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Some [[researchers]] in this area, and "life extensionists" or "longevists" (who wish to achieve longer lives for themselves), believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation with [[stem cells]], molecular repair, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable [[humans]] to have indefinite lifespans through complete rejuvenation to a youthful condition. | '''Life extension''', also known as anti-aging [[medicine]], [[experimental]] gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, refers to attempts to slow down or reverse the [[processes]] of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan.
