About this book

Should You Choose to Live Forever?: A Debate addresses a centuries old question in philosophy, but also one with increasing relevance as scientists now see the real possibility of extending people's lives for many hundreds of years.

This accessible yet profound debate from two leading researchers in the area, Stephen Cave and John Martin Fischer, offers:

Engaging philosophical discourse that brings abstract concepts to life through myth, literature, and thought experiments
Balanced perspectives with Cave arguing against immortality (citing problems of meaninglessness, overpopulation, social injustice, and boredom) and Fischer making the case for radical life extension
Structured format with clear chapter breakdowns, summaries, and a three-part debate format that models scholarly discourse
Contemporary relevance, connecting ancient philosophical questions to modern anti-aging research and technological developments

Instrcutors praise this book as the most accessible volume in the 'Little Debates' series, noting its ideal structure for introducing complex literature to newcomers while presenting the most current positions from both authors.

Perfect for courses in Philosophy of Death and Mortality, Ethics, Bioethics, Philosophy of Religion, Contemporary Philosophical Issues, and Introduction to Philosophy.
