immortalism
Pursuit of forever
Immortalism is the belief that indefinite human lifespan extension is desirable and achievable, typically through advances in medicine, biotechnology, or other scientific means.
Unlike traditional notions of spiritual immortality, immortalism focuses on preventing biological aging and death: Immortalism drives much of the research into anti-aging therapies.
Adherents are called immortalists.
