\"\"<\/a>Commentary by Gennady Stolyarov II, Chairman, United States Transhumanist Party:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cGraceful\u201d is a watercolor painting by Dr. Laura Katrin Weston, a.k.a.

This vibrant watercolor image of a hawthorn tree in bloom illustrates that beauty and longevity are indeed compatible. Hawthorn trees can\u00a0live for up to 700 years<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 another demonstration that there are no insurmountable obstacles to this kind of graceful longevity. Science and technology must, however, advance, to enable us to maintain vitality for centuries to come.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Artist\u2019s Description:\u00a0<\/strong>There is a cold, hard truth in humanity\u00a0that we don\u2019t often like to admit. There is no shame in wanting to remain beautiful, graceful, and vibrant\u00a0for as long as we can. Yet these feelings are often belittled as being selfish or vain.<\/p>\n

There is nothing wrong with being healthy for as long as possible. Perhaps we have grown so used to the frailties and sickness that come with time that we might not know how to react without it.<\/p>\n
