People Unlimited is an organization that claims to inspire and educate people to take charge of their longevity and to pursue unlimited lifespans. [1] Through what they term The Gospel of Longevity, [2] they seek to integrate spirit and science as a platform that supports people to feel that immortality is not foreign but an innate feature of being human. Their Ageless Education program has featured such longevity experts as Dr. Michael Rose, Dr. Aubrey de Grey, Dr. Sandra Kaufman, Dr. Bill Andrews, and Liz Parish among many others. [3]
While many view the challenge of curing aging as an end in itself, People Unlimited sees the cure for aging as a cure for society as a whole and what ails it. This includes racism, [4] income inequality, unwarranted aggression and violence, and environmental collapse.
People Unlimited was founded by James Strole and Bernandeane Brown in 1996. After speaking throughout the US and on four continents about shifting out of deathist patterns, [5] they recognized that without the ongoing support of a community, people would tend to revert to old ways. This inspired them to create People Unlimited as a "home base" for immortalists. [6]
People Unlimited became the driving force behind the not-for-profit Coalition for Radical Life Extension, [7] which is the producer of RAADfest, [8] an annual conference where scientists and clinician gather to talk about the latest innovations in longevity. [9] Bernadeane Brown died of breast cancer in June 2024 and was cryopreserved. [10]
