I've been thinking for ages that we should try something like this.
Let's see how this experiment on the other side of the pond goes...
The question 'Should the United States fund a "War on Aging "?' was
posted by Thomas Mooney of the Coalition to Extend Life
(http://www.coalitiontoextendlife.org/) on ScienceDebate.org, a site
where the public can post questions for presidential candidates, and
vote on their favourite questions.
It's not doing badly, vote-wise, but it could do with a boost (and
voting is open to non-Americans). Registration is the quickest I've
ever come across and it's possible to give one, two, or three votes (I
guess you have three votes to distribute any way you want.

So, *do* something transhumanistic, today, and vote for this question! :-)
Cheers,
