  The ultimate fate of life in a universe with accelerated expansion is
considered. Previous work showed that life cannot go on indefinitely in a
universe dominated by a cosmological constant. In this paper we consider
instead other models of acceleration (including quintessence and Cardassian
expansion). We find that it is possible in these cosmologies for life to
persist indefinitely. As an example we study potentials of the form $V \propto
\phi^n$ and find the requirement $n < -2$.
