I, Maria Konovalenko, leader of Longevity Party, call to fight aging on a global scale.
Aging is a disease that needs to be cured. Eliminating aging will lead to much longer and healthier lives, to fulfilling your goals and desires, to self improvement, wealth and will give you much more happy days with your family and loved ones. Fighting aging is the first step to radical life extension. Everyone who believes aging has to be defeated, upload your pictures with posters like this one in front of memorable places in your city. It will be nice to have a gallery of places where people are vocally advocating longevity.
Swap out "aging", and swap in "cancer."
Would you trust the person holding that sign? Especially if they had something to sell?
Our ability to treat (not cure) cancer is far more sophisticated than our ability to treat aging. This type of rhetoric, put bluntly, does not lend credibility to transhumanist movements.
