Volume 20 (236 pages) is in honor of Gerard K. O'Neill (1927-1992). One question Dr. O'Neill attempted to answer was "Is the surface of a planet really the right place for an expanding technological civilization?" Eight of the thirteen chapters are related to this question (or to Dr. O'Neill). Five of the thirteen chapters are related to other important topics. The anthology's chapters (by professional philosophers and other scholars and professionals) are directed to issues related to death, life extension, and anti-death, broadly construed. The contributions consist of relevant reprints as well as scholarship unique to this volume. As was the case with all previous volumes in the Death And Anti-Death Series By Ria University Press, the anthology includes an Abstracts section that serves as an extended table of contents. (part 1 of 2) CHAPTER ONE Future Space Programs - 9 August 1975 (Congressional Statement By Asimov) By Isaac Asimov; CHAPTER TWO Images Of Gerry: The Enduring Personae Of Dr. Gerard K. O'Neill By Emily Carney; CHAPTER THREE Peace From On High By Joe Haldeman; CHAPTER FOUR Space Colonization And Energy Supply To Earth by Gerard K.

About the Author
Dr. Perry (Ph.D., computer science, b. 1947) has worked at Alcor Foundation, a cryonics organization now in Scottsdale, Arizona (USA), since 1987. In spare time he completed a book, Forever for All, which deals with scientific and moral issues connected with physical immortality. He is currently working on a revised edition of this book, and on a deeper investigation of the philosophical and mathematical issues connected with personal identity and survival. Dr. Perry is a cofounder and member of the cryonics-promoting Society for Venturism, and also the Society for Universal Immortalism which is devoted to one day solving the problem of death in its entirety through a scientific approach.
