Cambridge researcher Aubrey de Grey argues that aging is merely a disease — and a curable one at that. Humans age in seven basic ways, he says, all of which can be averted. Aubrey claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological aging. He provocatively proposes that the first human beings who will live to 1,000 years old have already been born. With his astonishingly long beard, wiry frame and penchant for bold and cutting proclamations, de Grey is a magnet for controversy. A computer scientist, self-taught biogerontologist and researcher, he has co-authored journal articles with some of the most respected scientists in the field.

  1. If humans want to live forever and ever, why bother to have children?!

    If everything in nature never deteriorated and died, would the world ever change?

    For that matter do we or don’t we want the world to change…., hopefully for the better? Because, if the present humans continued living ever and ever, would we be capable of new ways of thinking and imagining?

    Wouldn’t we stagnate?

    It would be so very boring, I think. Personally, I don’t think I would want to live sooooooo looooooong!!!!
