The purpose of the Society is to gain, by
our own unaided efforts, a perpetual life beyond the natural death of our
species for every past, present and future member of humanity.
To
that end the Society
aims
to draw the whole living generation into the creation
and maintenance of conditions which will enable the human
species to survive into the infinite future in circumstances in which human
knowledge and skills grow continuously.
In pursuit of the maintenence of those
conditions the Society seeks to preserve
and fully develop every
living human individual, and to protect and conserve the whole of the
environment of our species, together with all sentient life within it.
The
Society works to minimise all consumption and productive activity
by humanity in order to conserve, and if possible increase, the resources
available to support the infinite survival of the human species. That
position is more fully set out in the
