-Poul Anderson, Genesis (New York, 2001), Part One, V, p. 39.
This is the equivalent of antiagathics, antisenescence, the antithanatic etc. See Immortality.
In Genesis, immortality is not of the body but by incorporation into AI.
In Doctor Who, Time Lords periodically "regenerate," combining rejuvenation with change of appearance/actor. Thus, Whovians would be amused to read this reference to "regenerations."
Was I mistaken in thinking that Genesis refers to the Anthropocene?

Kaor, Paul!
Even assuming the possibility of downloading one's personality into an AI, that will be of precious little use to the "original" persona in the BODY. That persona still exists in the body and will depart when it dies.
