""John K. Davis advances a bold claim about human life extension."" --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews ""Highly accessible, informative, and well-balanced. Indeed, the entire book is written in such a conversational and entertaining way that at first you might think it was aimed at a general audience."" --Hastings Center Report ""New Methuselahs provides a great investigation into the ethics of life extension. It provides bold, thought‐provoking policy suggestions, which will no doubt stimulate future work on the topic. Anyone with an interest in life extension and ethics should read it."" --Bioethics ""Whether or not adding a century or two to the human life span ought to be a priority is an ethical problem -- not that it will be answered as one. The potential rewards of throwing money at the first really promising development makes superlongevity a tech bubble bound to happen."" --Chronicle of Higher Education
