http://www.ted.com Aubrey de Grey, British biogerontologist and founder of SENS, controversially claims to have created a roadmap to defeat biological aging. In this talk, he argues that aging - like other diseases - can be cured, and that humans can live for centuries, if only we approach the aging process as "an engineering problem." (Recorded July 2005 in Oxford, UK. Duration: 23:31)

If you want to support Aubrey and one of his projects called "Undergrads fighting age related disease" then search for "BVVE2C" and go to their project-page and nominate them. It only takes ~3minutes to help science!

The search for the "Fountain of Youth" continues. I want it to be true, but I also don't want to live my life hanging onto a dream.

Moi? Catholic? Non.Like any sane man I am prepared to admit fault or error in reasoning. My argument about 'condemning children never to be born' is weak and I will concede that ON THAT POINT I was wrong.However I do still think de Grays' work (Or his sucess if he attains it) would be ultimately harmful to humanity. I've been meaning to make a video to express my thoughts on this and you have reminded me, thank you :)

you condemn children not to be born every time you use a condom - or perhaps you are a strict Catholic?

Science is the key...

Uncle Joe? Is that you?

if you are so worried about gene pool, I think technological and biological advancements can take care of that in the next couple hundreds of years or so. And if you are so opposed to longevity, I hope you die as you wish, for the rest of us, I choose to be optimistic.

Aubrey you rock!

You have a good point, but I think the notion that our species' long term survival is going to be a function of continued genetic adaptation or diversity is suspect. A strong case can be made that technological development is going to eclipse further pure biological evolution as a means for improving the species.
