Offers a fresh view of the quest for perpetual youth. This work focuses on the "pretty monster" that Oscar Wilde created in "The Picture of Dorian Gray". It is an analysis of the dangers inherent in becoming "terminally young", and also provides a set of propositions worth consideration by gerontologists, educators, and philosophers.
