I was impressed with the simplicity and clarity of the message, and my impression was that children could easily digest the information. It&#8217;s about time th<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">ere was a children&#8217;s book promoting the message of indefinite life-extension. This book should be mandatory reading in elementary schools. I was pleased to see that the book gave mention to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aubrey_de_grey\" data-hovercard=\"\/ajax\/hovercard\/page.php?id=109461045739132\">Aubrey de Grey<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/sens.org\/\" data-hovercard=\"\/ajax\/hovercard\/page.php?id=108089535885176\">SENS Research Foundation<\/a>. Besides explaining the logical reasons for why death is wrong, I was delighted that the book spoke about the frailness of life and the overwhelming sadness of death. The book also specified the importance of vigilantly avoiding dangerous behaviors which would endanger one&#8217;s life, and the importance of taking care of one&#8217;s health. I think that message is especially important for young children to hear. The book leaves the reader with the optimistic outlook that death does not have to be inevitable. If we know that death is wrong, then we must wage war on death and never give up until we have won this fight.
