We should be able to live for several hundred years but not forever. If we all had permanent lives it would lead to overpopulation. This would then cause us to run out of food and resources and thus cause the extinction of our species.
@9N8X 50 years in the future, maybe less we will be running mainly on renewables, and our farms would be vertical farms. The current method of energy use oil, coal, and horozontal farming is unsustainable. In the future, this too will change. Technology will advance to enable us to become more efficient, more friendly with the planet. Technology such as renewables, vertical farming, space exploration, and defeating aging will take will power, reseach, and support from private and governments.

A brilhant French chemist called Antoine Lavoisier proved that combustion requires only a constituent of air, which he called for oxygen (a very simple idea for us today) and he was taken to the guilhotine in 1794 for that (just about 200 yars ago). Now, when Dr. Aubrey de Grey says he will defeat aging, I just don't doubt it.
-Look up longevity drugs like Resveratrol, TA-65, Rapamycin etc.
-Look up the break throughs in genetic research like growing new organs, (and especially the application of Gene Therapy to existing humans to change their DNA).
-Look up nanotechnology. Look what they are doing with MEMS technology now. Its amazing.
Dont listen to the technology luddite na sayers. If they want to die by all means let them. We be better without them.
The first 6 out of 7 can be completely adressed by buying a juicer and juicing organic fruits and veggies 2 times a day, especially things like beets, cilantro , carrotts, ginger and green veggies. This will remove the crap from celss , around cells, helps healthy cells regenerate faster, provide enzyme activity and important minerals, help maintain vascular integrity, increase insulin sensitivity, and destroy cancer cells.
@CalumnMcAulay Its called bioremediation hypothesis by some guy from oxford like 50 years ago I forget who. Its in fact in use to day as a means of breaking down polutants in soil for agriculture.
i have one question... Birth?? what do you get when people are born but never die?? hmm?? over population! It's a nice idea but the world would turn to chaos.. even more so than now.
@wildchick222 and what makes you so sure about this? There is no evidence for any of this except stuff other people have written and said. If you are smart it should have occurred to you that some ppl manipulate other people for their own benefit, that's a very basic social mechanism with lot's of evidence to back it up. Religion is an ideal tool for manipulation and control. Instead of being scared to go to hell you should be scared of being manipulated and therefore inferior.
@wildchick222 heaven and hell dont exist!! and your appointment?? is that with god? the invisible man put there by people to make sure you behave!! get with it and dont waste the gift of life obeying someone who isnt ther!!! its a waste!!
@cmc910 In science we dnt get somethin 4 nothin. So we( humans) hv never made anything accept 2 perform a function for us does it not make sense then?

2. That is the reason for our existence. We were not created in the same way that we do not make anything accept for it to serve us by performing a function in the same way we were not created accept for a purpose , and that purpose is to serve the creator, to serve and worship the creator.

Allah created us to test us, and we will be rewarded or punished as a result
No one knows when and where one will die. No one even knows how someone is to die. In this respect
Allah says in the Qur'an
"Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: Nor does anyone know in what land he is to die. Verily with God is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things)" (Surah Luqman:-31:34)
I bet a lot of people never thought earth would see a [captured moving image] of a [horseless chariot!], being argued over in [movable type made of light!], by [people all over the world!], from their [individual heated and lit homes!], using a [box that can answer almost any question!]
Ok, his last proposition of injecting humans with enzymes that will break down intracellular garbage that clogs up aging body tissues is complete rubbish. The enzymes that microorganisms secrete to breakdown dead body tissue are unspecific proteases, glycosylpeptidases. They could not be injected into humans. He is a computer scientist not a biologist. Although he seems to know biology terminology he doesn't understand it. Do not believe every thing he says.
What a waste of time.... he forgets to mention the most important factor. Telomeres. The telomeres are disposable buffers blocking the ends of the chromosomes and are consumed during cell division, once these Telomeres run out the cells will stop dividing and death will ensue. There is no way to lengthen life past around 120 years. The longest living person was 127. The Bible made an accurate prediction, which is fascinating to me.
@Christopher1987uk Interesting suff... BTW do you know how the telomeres are repaired during the fertilization of sperm and egg? Is there a way to duplicate that process in an adult?
@yapanuwan I did not know that, thx for telling me that. I do not think that process can be duplicated, from what I read the sperm take telomeres from the egg, that process has been mastered by evolution and I think that trying to recreate that could lead to a lot of genetic problems and defects, the microscopic world is so complicated we just do not have the knowledge to even try and copy nature. We have not even explored 1% of our genetic structure, so we could make a lot of mistakes.
I guess you never heard of the new drug TA-65 which infact may lengthen Telomeres.
Infact the average life span of humans have been increasing over the centuries.
Also theres many other drugs (like resveratrol) in developement plus genetic research (especially gene therapy) and nanotechnology which is making longevity possible.
It seems like there are things that his 7 steps wont solve,I mean wouldn't the brain eventually run out of room to store your memory's?Also If everyone can live forever,wouldn't the earth run out of resources to maintain the population?
I would want to live forever. Not because I fear death, but because I want to see the scientific and technological potential of civilization progress in the centuries to come.
The question is, who wants to live forever! If it weren't for the fear of death, i think most of us wouldn't have the patience to live forever. Anyways, i believe in reincarnation, so at the end, we really don't die, we just change faces. Let us stay in the moment and not worry about the Grand Illusion.
let's assume we don't have the patience for it...why not instead of accepting death..erase our memory and start over? For instance would a suicidal person really choose death if they could just start all over again living out an entirely different lifestyle/personality? No one truly wants to die, we just haven't found a way around just yet. But we can't continue to go around anymore creating answers with no evidence backing them when it concerns the most important questions.
all this is not gonna happen. i have no doubt multinational, multi billion dollar corporations will stop this. especially those in the pharmaceutical industry.
@l33th4ck3rl33t yeah ofcourse. who do you think is more likely to be able to do more underhanded and devious things to get even more money, the millionaires or the billionaires?
I'd like to just point out - It wouldn't be a "one time fix" if he were using these methods to end aging. You would have to get your cells "cleaned/replenished" once every few years or so. It would be a constant maintenance forever. For THESE methods, anyway. Such as the cancer cells having to be replaced every 10 years or so with billions of new stem cells.
I'd much prefer it if it were a one time fix, perhaps that can be done. However, as it is right now it seems like it would be maintenance.
Please please PLEASE don't be a quack Aubrey. I really want this to be true, that we are on the path to defeating aging in the not too distant future. But I've got to be as skeptical as possible to avoid false hope. Anyone know any attempts to debunk his ideas? I've been looking and thus far have come up with little to nothing of substance.
well the biggest flaw that critics have come up with is simply that his theories are too advanced to implement. That is while in theory it should be possible to make humans live indefinetely using his ideas it is simply too hard for modern science to achieve for now.
This man is a brilliant! Love his project! And modern science is only helping support his "radical" idea!
We have the cure for cancer and that is DCA . Stemcells are already being used in certain countries to cure certain illnesses and other types of damage to the human body.
The enzimes shouldn't be to hard to get...
We are very close. In 2020 we should be able to find a way to stop the"off" switch.
immortality will never happen. least not on this side of the grave.
btw, you can watch the whole movie on google video for free. i just did. i like this guy, but his dream is one produced in a pipe...or in his case, a mug.
@Tartersauce101 Your opinion, but scientifically, if mankind remains for another 100years this is an eventuality. First will come what has already occured ,.. life extension. We have added 10-15years on life in the last 50, with meager technology. Over the next 50 we will do much more. The idea here is that the rate at which we continue to lengthen longevity (life) will occur quicker than the decay that is natural death. But doesn't equal immortality. Eventually we will all be 'killed'.
@Tartersauce101 "Aviation will never happen." "Horseless vehicles will never happen." "Living past 30 will never happen." "Space exploration will never happen."
The list goes on of all the times throughout human history idiots like you have said stuff like this and been proven utterly wrong. I wish you'd just shut the fuck up already.
@Tartersauce101 The term "immortality" is hardly a misrepresentation of what Aubrey hopes to accomplish precisely because it will give us indefinite lifespans and allows us to choose how long we want to live. All this does is serve to eliminate involuntary death caused by aging. Of course once this is finished we'll probably see that we're not too fond of the other ways we can die either and work towards putting them out of the picture as well. Whether or not we choose to self-terminate is moot.
@Tartersauce101 Also I'm sorry that you're so stupid that you're incapable of comprehending what I'm talking about. Again, all this does is put aging-related death out of the picture. I don't expect my flesh to last all eternity, mainly because I don't really believe we will even be tied to these biological bodies forever. I think that somehow we will eventually merge with machines and have computers in our brains (or even upload our minds to computers) but that's still a while off.
Why not? Such inovations in science are already occuring. It is only a matter of time. On a video it is predicted that the amount of people past age 100 will increase starting 2020. We will be among those people. User pjvdixon stressed in a video that a youth pill is already in development and has been successfully tested in rats. Next time think twice before saying something.
"on a video it is predicted that the amount of people past age 100 will increase starting 2020"
well if thats not a lame fact-less and off topic statement i don't know what is. living past 100? who gives a shit, this is about near immortality, a whole world away from that. tested in rats?? what hasn't been? of course people are living longer every decade, its been that way for a long time, you're not saying anything new at all. were all going to die, deal with it.
What type of name is tartersauce101 anyway? Sounds like a stupid name worthy for a troll. It's social fascists like you who give science a bad name. It is immoral to let people die. DeGrey even said that at one of his presentations. DeGrey wants you to live for the future but you grew up reasoning that age is a natural thing. It is not. It is a disease that everyone gets at around 60 years of age. It can be cured and I feel it most likely will.
He's not advocating immortality. (not yet.) what he's advocating is defeating aging, death by other means would still remain just as possible as it was before. I see no point in being so negative about this either. What you're saying now is what I'd imagine you'd hear during the renaissance or something like someone mentions maybe one day traveling to the moon...only to hear extreme negativity. Think of how impossible that sounds even today, yet we've done it. be positive ;)
big problem with what you wrote: nobody dies of old age.
heart attacks, strokes, aids, cancer, car accidents. none of these have anything to do with aging, and yet they are among the top killers. so what if you avoid a wrinkly face, or your cells divide more efficeintly and don't deteriorate? sure it decreases chances of certain things happening, but honestly, to me its just delaying (slightly) the inevitable. oh, and most actual practicing scientist s disagree w/ De grey.
@Tartersauce101 Aging is EVERYTHING! Aside of course deaths caused by accidents, and intentional killing! That's why most "practicing scientists" haven't solved the riddle of aging or that of extending the human life span significantly, and look instead towards the after effects (disease), but not the root causes.
for those leaveing paragraphs of writeing as comments,no body is going to read it,so try summarizeing and this idea is completely possible.and can be proven correctly
@BlackWing96 Absolutely this idea is possible, I will further say probable, and really even moreso eventual. As for paragraphs,.. this is a hot topic, an intellectual one, and I for one have read many 'paragraphs'.. the character limit doesn't allow us to write *that* much.
aging doesnt just happen to humans, aging happens to everything in existence, the universe ages changes and certain aspects of it die. Aging cannot be stopped unless this man supposes he has an answer to reworking the limitations of nature. The only control over the limitations of nature are from the creator of it all which no one is sure what created us. Suppose even if we are the image and likeness of the creator we dont have all the creators abilites were emmasculated creations!
Chemoo...what is wrong with you. Just because other things age doesn't mean humans have to stay at their current life expectancy. Look at the big picture and think of it as slowing aging down instead, making us live to be 150 or 200. This is not "against" laws of nature at all. We didn't evolve to live that long, but it doesn't mean its somehow against nature. These things are definitely possible because the molecules are all there, its just going to take a lot of work.
Now this is where language comes in to importance. Degrey speaks of stopping aging. If you understand what stop means it means to keep it from going any further meaning no aging at all. Now what you are reffering to is slowing aging, that I do believe is possible. Do you realize the difference of stopping and slowing aging? If you didnt before this comment of mine should make it simple to understand what I was talking about when I mentioned the whole universe ages.
@cheemooo Actually the whole purpose of my comment was I didnt think YOU recognized the difference, but if you for whatever reason just want to argue about stopping aging, then go ahead...I think its pretty useless for anyone to go there when we haven't even slowed it yet, including aubrey. People's comments often look something like "this is dumb, its impossible to stop aging, this stuff is pointless" as if there isn't a difference between slow vs stop. I was just hoping yours didnt imply that
My comments are not set up to arugue rather to just lead you to understand differently than what you asumed I was speaking of. How could anyone really accomplish much in the way of a extensive topic like aging and the future in a comment box that can barely contain 500 words or whatever the amount is? Anyhow thats all!
@Transfectingood Actually this is an initial reversal of aging of varying degree (dependent upon your current 'age', or accumulation and magnitude of the "7" orders therein) -- once you are at or around your desireable physical/mental ability then you periodically maintain this. Age is not really stopped chronologically.. and people will continue to change. Lastly -- Technically this is 'evolving' to live longer. Using the human intellect which is biological. It defys nothing.
If I understand this, what seems to be the answer is spending a lot of money on cell therapy and drugs. So unless I have the resources I and most folks won't be able to do anything this man wants to do. What about diet, environment and toxic water?
Any grad student in the biological sciences can sling a lot of terms, toss in some theories, supportive study results, etc. etc. and present themselves as a self-appointed visionary. Somebody's always spouting some jargon about "curing" aging and if they know anything about self-promotion they'll find an audience. Entropy is inherent in the mega-system which is matter and motion. BUT....my mind is open. Live forever? Okay, let's see him do it. I wish him luck.
Some feel that the shortness of life is what makes it so precious. They may compare life to gold, which exists only in limited amounts. If gold could be found everywhere, they point out, its value would be diminished. Nevertheless, gold would still be beautiful. Surely the same is true of life.
Quite the opposite in fact. Life was cheaper when it was shorter. Premature death is a bigger loss when the dead had 100 years of comfortable life in front of him rather than 10 years of senility and decrepitude. We will never be immortal even if we defeat aging. This means that any improvement in human lifespan and/or quality of life can only enrich it.
That is only true for those that are egoic and value life based on scarcity. In a future world, where abundance is the way of life for everyone, valuation will come from those that have mastered enlightenment and learned to appreciate abundance, and not scarcity. The only reason people appreciate scarcity is because of the ego; because, somehow it makes them feel special and stronger for possessing something rare. And that is an illusion. Life is wholly more important than that illusion.
Get back to science you lazy ass youtube watchers, move your fatty lazy asses and read some books learn and accomplish something in life you useless maggots you just sittin infront of your desktop watching and typing silly comments u bunch of retards XD no serious let´s stop aging (that would be totally awesome) so we can sit in front of our pc on our fat ass for more 1000 years. HAIL !!!! XD
we will no question but if it will happen 50 years from now I should be 83 by then while knowing those who are born then will in all likelihood have access to anti-aging therapies I never did which makes the whole thing maddening and so fucking unfair
@sondano i feel exactly the same thats why we need all the focus we can get to bring the end of aging and suffering closer...its up to ppl like us to spread the word in a rational and logical way
Shit documentary. The interviewer spent as much time as possible making snide remarks about the fellow with the beard than actually examining the science. It seems perfectly logical to me that it would be possible the live forever some day. The body's only a fucking machine.
Yeah.. I make it a point not to respect anything anyone says after they say "study my buzzword" because they can't provide a few sentences on how it relates to their argument.
"I love the irony in that Aubrey wants to live forever, but maintains a long beard. "
Only so his beard gets longer...
No, this man is a genius.
"I'd want to live a long long time, but I'd rather live a normal lifespan than to be unable to die ever. "
That's like saying you don't want to cure cancer simply because you want to die someday... It won't be a magical pill you take that makes you invincible: you'll still be able to die.
I'd like to live forever, physically, not talking spiritually. If I were to be made immortal at my current age of 21 years, would I always look as if I'm 21, or would I still age, just essentially never expiring? Just a question I would like to have answered.
You'd stay at the body's ideal state, which would be 21-ish years. The process involves rejuventating the body (restoring youth), not holding back the problems like they do with old people today, so you wouldn't get decrepid.
I am not discounting the possibility that we can live for a long, long time but this man is not the one to make it possible. As the saying goes, his idea is like a beggar clothed in purple whom everyone mistakes for a king. Advances happen slowly and when they happen, you don't need someone telling you that you can live forever, you'd automatically know when the time came.
Tesla said the same thing about Einstein's theory of relativity. I suppose you were referencing that?
Advances happen when there is research being done. Research requires funding, and funding requires faith. So, a beggar in purple sounds fucking fantastic to me. Even if his ideas sucked -I don't like the cancer cure one- he's bringing attention to a fixable problem.
Yes, but what if you told them 300 years ago that they'd fly in planes in the next 20 years or 30 years? That is the difference. You can't live forever if you still haven't cured cancer. Science builds upon itself. Not too sure but there is a good probability that i won't build my robot with infinite IQ just because it is theoretically possible.
We're getting close to new treatments in cancer, ones that target specifically cells producing telomerase. Most cells in the human body don't produce telomerase; however, almost all cancers do.
Impossible? Why so? Improbable? Scary? Fear is the mind-killer. Open your mind to the possibilities. Until you do you are never alive in the first place.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Eternal life ? No way ! That will NEVER be possible, however I'm sure we can extend our lives and add a couple of years onto it.. But seriously, live forever ? I mean just think about it, that cannot be done in ANY way .. !
And the cold is cureable, but if you owned a billion dollar corporation that depended on the constant medication of people, I seriously doubt a cure would help your profits. Money makes the world go round.
Err.. I think first step is wear your seatbelt Aubrey..

@Christopher1987uk Interesting suff... BTW do you know how the telomeres are repaired during the fertilization of sperm and egg? Is there a way to duplicate that process in an adult?
yapanuwan 1 year ago
@yapanuwan I did not know that, thx for telling me that. I do not think that process can be duplicated, from what I read the sperm take telomeres from the egg, that process has been mastered by evolution and I think that trying to recreate that could lead to a lot of genetic problems and defects, the microscopic world is so complicated we just do not have the knowledge to even try and copy nature. We have not even explored 1% of our genetic structure, so we could make a lot of mistakes.

I guess you never heard of the new drug TA-65 which infact may lengthen Telomeres.
Infact the average life span of humans have been increasing over the centuries.
Also theres many other drugs (like resveratrol) in developement plus genetic research (especially gene therapy) and nanotechnology which is making longevity possible.

The question is, who wants to live forever! If it weren't for the fear of death, i think most of us wouldn't have the patience to live forever.

let's assume we don't have the patience for it...why not instead of accepting death..erase our memory and start over? For instance would a suicidal person really choose death if they could just start all over again living out an entirely different lifestyle/personality? No one truly wants to die, we just haven't found a way around just yet. But we can't continue to go around anymore creating answers with no evidence backing them when it concerns the most important questions.

I'd like to just point out - It wouldn't be a "one time fix" if he were using these methods to end aging. You would have to get your cells "cleaned/replenished" once every few years or so. It would be a constant maintenance forever. For THESE methods, anyway. Such as the cancer cells having to be replaced every 10 years or so with billions of new stem cells.
I'd much prefer it if it were a one time fix, perhaps that can be done. However, as it is right now it seems like it would be maintenance.

Tartersauce101 1 year ago
@Tartersauce101 Your opinion, but scientifically, if mankind remains for another 100years this is an eventuality. First will come what has already occured ,.. life extension. We have added 10-15years on life in the last 50, with meager technology. Over the next 50 we will do much more. The idea here is that the rate at which we continue to lengthen longevity (life) will occur quicker than the decay that is natural death. But doesn't equal immortality. Eventually we will all be 'killed'.

Tartersauce101 1 year ago
@Tartersauce101 The term "immortality" is hardly a misrepresentation of what Aubrey hopes to accomplish precisely because it will give us indefinite lifespans and allows us to choose how long we want to live. All this does is serve to eliminate involuntary death caused by aging. Of course once this is finished we'll probably see that we're not too fond of the other ways we can die either and work towards putting them out of the picture as well. Whether or not we choose to self-terminate is moot.

@Tartersauce101 Also I'm sorry that you're so stupid that you're incapable of comprehending what I'm talking about. Again, all this does is put aging-related death out of the picture.

I think that somehow we will eventually merge with machines and have computers in our brains (or even upload our minds to computers) but that's still a while off.

It is a disease that everyone gets at around 60 years of age. It can be cured and I feel it most likely will.

big problem with what you wrote: nobody dies of old age.
heart attacks, strokes, aids, cancer, car accidents. none of these have anything to do with aging, and yet they are among the top killers. so what if you avoid a wrinkly face, or your cells divide more efficeintly and don't deteriorate? sure it decreases chances of certain things happening, but honestly, to me its just delaying (slightly) the inevitable. oh, and most actual practicing scientist s disagree w/ De grey.
Tartersauce101 1 year ago
@Tartersauce101 Aging is EVERYTHING! Aside of course deaths caused by accidents, and intentional killing! That's why most "practicing scientists" haven't solved the riddle of aging or that of extending the human life span significantly, and look instead towards the after effects (disease), but not the root causes.

aging doesnt just happen to humans, aging happens to everything in existence, the universe ages changes and certain aspects of it die. Aging cannot be stopped unless this man supposes he has an answer to reworking the limitations of nature. The only control over the limitations of nature are from the creator of it all which no one is sure what created us. Suppose even if we are the image and likeness of the creator we dont have all the creators abilites were emmasculated creations!
cheemooo 2 years ago
@cheemooo
Chemoo...what is wrong with you. Just because other things age doesn't mean humans have to stay at their current life expectancy. Look at the big picture and think of it as slowing aging down instead, making us live to be 150 or 200. This is not "against" laws of nature at all. We didn't evolve to live that long, but it doesn't mean its somehow against nature. These things are definitely possible because the molecules are all there, its just going to take a lot of work.
Transfectingood 2 years ago
Now this is where language comes in to importance. Degrey speaks of stopping aging. If you understand what stop means it means to keep it from going any further meaning no aging at all. Now what you are reffering to is slowing aging, that I do believe is possible. Do you realize the difference of stopping and slowing aging? If you didnt before this comment of mine should make it simple to understand what I was talking about when I mentioned the whole universe ages.
cheemooo 2 years ago
@cheemooo Actually the whole purpose of my comment was I didnt think YOU recognized the difference, but if you for whatever reason just want to argue about stopping aging, then go ahead...I think its pretty useless for anyone to go there when we haven't even slowed it yet, including aubrey. People's comments often look something like "this is dumb, its impossible to stop aging, this stuff is pointless" as if there isn't a difference between slow vs stop. I was just hoping yours didnt imply that

cheemooo 2 years ago
@Transfectingood Actually this is an initial reversal of aging of varying degree (dependent upon your current 'age', or accumulation and magnitude of the "7" orders therein) -- once you are at or around your desireable physical/mental ability then you periodically maintain this. Age is not really stopped chronologically.. and people will continue to change. Lastly -- Technically this is 'evolving' to live longer. Using the human intellect which is biological. It defys nothing.

Life—Transient and Precious:
Some feel that the shortness of life is what makes it so precious. They may compare life to gold, which exists only in limited amounts. If gold could be found everywhere, they point out, its value would be diminished. Nevertheless, gold would still be beautiful. Surely the same is true of life.
danielsun550 2 years ago 11
Quite the opposite in fact. Life was cheaper when it was shorter. Premature death is a bigger loss when the dead had 100 years of comfortable life in front of him rather than 10 years of senility and decrepitude. We will never be immortal even if we defeat aging. This means that any improvement in human lifespan and/or quality of life can only enrich it.

That is only true for those that are egoic and value life based on scarcity. In a future world, where abundance is the way of life for everyone, valuation will come from those that have mastered enlightenment and learned to appreciate abundance, and not scarcity. The only reason people appreciate scarcity is because of the ego; because, somehow it makes them feel special and stronger for possessing something rare. And that is an illusion. Life is wholly more important than that illusion.

You'd stay at the body's ideal state, which would be 21-ish years. The process involves rejuventating the body (restoring youth), not holding back the problems like they do with old people today, so you wouldn't get decrepid.
