Mr Lee Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Probably too late for many of us, but would be good for those who are still in great health, yet I have to wonder at what cost of a very over populated world with not enough food or water for the much larger population. I believe that every action has a reaction, yin and yang, so what do you think might be the positives and negatives of living forever? If Aubrey de Grey's predictions are right, the first person who will live to see their 150th birthday has already been born. And the first person to live for 1,000 years could be less than 20 years younger. A biomedical gerontologist and chief scientist of a foundation dedicated to longevity research, de Grey reckons that within his own lifetime doctors could have all the tools they need to "cure" aging -- banishing diseases that come with it and extending life indefinitely."I'd say we have a 50/50 chance of bringing aging under what I'd call a decisive level of medical control within the next 25 years or so," de Grey said in an interview before delivering a lecture at Britain's Royal Institution academy of science."And what I mean by decisive is the same sort of medical control that we have over most infectious diseases today."Link to the complete story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
