life support systems and life-extending technologies  

Definición

  • More than other technologies, life support systems and life-extending technologies symbolize the ethos of modern medicine to defy death or at least postpone it. Life support systems provide a partial or total substitution of major bodily organs and functions, while life extension technologies seek to increase one's maximum or average life span by improving and upgrading those functions. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Life Support Systems and Life-Extending Technologies]
