For the price of a cup of coffee a day you can join a select group of visionaries standing shoulder to shoulder as the first vanguard in the real war on aging
What is the Methuselah Foundation's Mprize?
The Methuselah Mouse Prize (Mprize), is the premiere effort of the Methuselah Foundation and is being offered to the scientific research team who develops the longest living Mus musculus, the breed of mouse most commonly used in scientific research. Developing interventions which work in mice is a critical precursor to the development of human antiaging techniques, for once it is demonstrated that aging in mice can be effectively delayed or reversed, popular attitudes towards aging as "inevitable" will no longer be possible. When aging in mice is shown to be "treatable," the funding necessary for a full-line assault on the aging process will be made available. This is the true power of the Methuselah Mouse Prize, to demonstrate a proof of principle, and give hope to the world that decline in function and age-related disease are no longer guarantees, for us, or for future generations, if we work together now.
What is SENS?
SENS stands for Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence. SENS is a detailed plan for curing human aging. SENS is an engineering project, recognising that aging is a medical condition and that medicine is a branch of engineering. Aging is a set of progressive changes in body composition, at the molecular and cellular level, which are side-effects of essential metabolic processes. Many of these changes are eventually bad for us—they are an accumulation of damage, which becomes pathogenic above a certain threshold of abundance. An ancillary effort of the Methuselah Foundation's Mprize is direct SENS research.
Who are the 300?
Modeled after the 300 Spartan warriors from the battle of Thermopylae, the 300 are a special group who, as individuals or organizations, have pledged to support this research with $1,000 a year for the next 25 years.
Why contribute to the Betterhumans 300 group seat?
This $25,000 pledge is significant. By acting as a group, we will be able to contribute meaningfully to important scientific research, without placing a large financial strain on any one individual member. Also, Peter Thiel will match 50% of all donations to SENS research up to 3 million dollars! You can make a difference by making a small donation. We can make a bigger difference by pooling our efforts. Join us today and enjoy a longer, healthier life tomorrow.
