About the talk
In the First World today Longevity is increasing almost exponentially. This review seeks to examine the reasons for this increase, together with the ways in which it has been attained and, at times, compromised. Those factors which have been substantiated and those which remain putative and illusory will be discussed. Although many in the audience will be well on the way toward vindicating any formula for longevity and even continuing good health, these aspects will be examined and, perhaps, some additional bonuses may be uncovered. Manifestly, our preoccupation with personal salvation and salubrity must be set against the majority of the world's struggle for mere survival. Yet we must take things as they are and THAT is another story. About the Speaker Professor Alexander Cohen has practiced, taught and researched in medicine in Australia and overseas for over sixty years. Although specifically orientated toward endocrinology and metabolism he is an unashamed General Physician since it is impossible to evaluate the global consequences of a disorder such as diabetes without considering every aspect of its bodily and intellectual intrusions. Great universities in the UK and USA have given him insights into what may be attained by the minds and dedications of humans and a deep respect for their courage and loveable frailties. The Chancellorship of this University was the apogee of this journey. Members: Free Non Members: $5 donation
