  Would you like to be practically immortal? No longer to count your years singly nor in decades but in centuries instead? Would such a prospect sound promising to you? 
  Lester del Ray’s short story The Dwindling Years, which was first published in 1956, is set in a world in which humans have found the key to a seemingly everlasting life by tapping the memory of the human cells and using it for rejuvenating the complete body over and over again and thus expanding life by centuries. What, however, are the side effects of this apparent gain in longevity? For starters, human relations are wearing thin because after seventy or a hundred years your attachment to another individual, even to your own children or parents, will cool off. Another side effect is that people’s readiness to take risks, and be they ever so unspectacular, has utterly declined, partly because the danger of losing a leg or an arm in an accident is more horrible if you know that the consequences will have to be borne for centuries now; and partly because why should you take a risk to bring about a change – e.g. by testing a new technology – if you have all the time in the world to see if you cannot achieve your aim in a less dangerous way. The result of this mindset is an increase in safety measures and a very conservative attitude towards change in general.

  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  THE GOSPEL OF SERVICE: The subject on which I am going to speak to you for a few minutes to-night, "The Gospel of Service," may not, when you first hear it, strike a very responsive chord in your hearts and minds, but I assure you I have nothing but the very highest and best interest of the race at heart when I select this subject to talk about.
