Abstract
The two ever present instincts of man are self-preservation and the propagation of the race. At the beginning of one’s life this urge to survive is wholly unconscious but later on this will to live Is supplimented within the individual as a definite conscious search for longevity. Awareness to this inherent and universal desire to live is evidenced by the sought after services of the physician or doctor; the presence of civil law with the law courts and many other protective establishments. This conscious awareness to the possibilities, no matter how slight, of extending or at least maintaining life has brought about numerous years of toil for the scientific man who is attempting to contribute his bit toward the understanding of this principle called life.
