Do you want to live forever?

Yesterday I came across a documentary (called Do You Want to Live Forever?) about this man, Aubry DeGrey, a man who says he has figured out how to cure aging. Imagine not only living much much longer, but living those years in the best of health. He has his critics and you can judge for yourself, but you cannot deny his passion for this.

A true maverick, Aubrey de Grey challenges the most basic assumption underlying the human condition — that aging is inevitable. He argues instead that aging is a disease — one that can be cured if it’s approached as “an engineering problem.” His plan calls for identifying all the components that cause human tissue to age, and designing remedies for each of them — forestalling disease and eventually pushing back death. He calls the approach Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS).
