One of the world's top biomedical gerontologists says that we humans will soon have the ultimate anti-aging solution and that the first person to see their 150th birthday has already been born. Aubrey de Grey of the "Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence" also predicts that within just a few decades we'll have the technology to extend life up to 1000 years!He and several other top experts believe that science is on track to "cure aging" in a way that greatly extends human life... curing nearly all age-related diseases and stopping (or reversing) the chemical processes that age our bodies.
De Grey says that within 20 - 30 years people will visit their doctors for "maintenance" procedures that involve stem cell therapies, gene therapies, immune system rebuilds, and a variety of other advanced medical techniques that slow down the aging process dramatically. According to him:
"The idea is to engage in what you might call preventative geriatrics, where you go in to periodically repair that molecular and cellular damage [associated with aging] before it gets to the level of abundance that is pathogenic."We say: Sounds good. Until they invent this stuff -- and get it down to a level we can afford -- we'll continue popping our anti-oxidant supplements, drinking (large amounts of) red wine, eating our broccoli, and downing pints of green tea every day!
