LIVING FOR EVER
Professor F A. E. Crew, of Edinburgh University, speaking at the Social Hygiene School at Cam- bridge. said:
It has been abundantly demon- strated that life call, and does, continue without ceasing.
It is possible to take a fat worm and by repeated processes of atarvation keep it alive 20 times longer than it would have lived in the ordinary way.
A man knows the causes of ageing, the cause of the lose of proteins, and when he knows the methods by which that loss may be replaced he may prolong his life indefinitely.
As knowledge increases, as in- crease it must, so also will man's power over his physical environ- ment and over the mechanism that is himself.
Science as well as religion affirms that in the future man kind may, if it be so desired, not only remain permanently youth- ful but also may live for ever.
The opinion of the scientist is more extravagant than the creed of the theologist. The scientist will give to mankind the power to control the mechanism that drives him to his destiny. Mankind will be able to choose for himself what that destiny shall be. What shall it be? That is the question that we and our children's children must answer.
