Thanks for your support of human life extension...
An important word in the anti-aging movement is Healthspan which is defined as the period of one's life during which one is generally healthy and free from serious disease. As you pointed out, we are not just extending years, we are extending healthy, happy years. Incorporating words like this into our daily vocabulary will shape the public's way of thinking about the objectives of radical life extension.
It is true that the wealthy will have the first opportunity to benefit from anti-aging therapies, however, these therapies are often very experimental and potentially dangerous. The wealthy will serve as human lab rats on whom we will perfect life extension techniques for the masses. I thought I would mention this to show a different way of thinking about this issue.
Good luck to the Linked In Life Extension & Anti-Aging Technology Group! Changing attitudes toward aging research in recent times has cultivated many new anti-aging organizations. The organization that leads the fight to end aging ASAP is Aubrey de Grey's SENS Foundation. They are attacking the problem of aging directly on all fronts.
I have my own anti-aging community on Google+ called Biology of Aging with 7600 members and growing. If you don't have a Google+ account, you can still see a tiny sample.
It would be great to see the life extension movement take off on Steemit.
Here is an article I wrote on Steemit: Emergent Rejuvenation Biotechnology Industry
Thanks I will check you out on Google Plus, although I am not a big user of it. I know of Aubrey De Grey's work and have been following it and SENS for many years. I am connected to him on LinkedIn. Thanks for the article link - I will check it out!

Hold onto it, never let it go! Worry, worry, worry, research, research RESEARCH! You only have so much time left.... the clock is ticking!
Do you guys ever think that it might be best to focus on the well being of ALL life, instead of lengthening the life of the only species that has brought this planet and all it's life forms to the brink of destruction? Nah, you should because you can, and lets not forget the fact you're very important! /s
I cant help thinking that transhumanists regret too much, need more time to prove to the world that they are as special as they believe themselves to be.
