http://www.ted.com 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.

Obviously being eternally young and biologically immortal will cause population stagnation, not growth.

Seems obvious, right?
But it's astounding how many people don't actually realise that. It's not that they even reject the idea, but that they simply can't parse it.
It is a very revealing tell of most people's basic inability to understand the "bigger-picture". Doesn't stop em commenting though.

Don't forget mass starvation, mate. 6 billion undying humans doubling each decade is going to make a drastic food shortage quick smart.
This sort of thing sounds great because it appeals to the "Me" reflex, but without a check on the human global population we are all going to suffer most horrifically.
Before this becomes available, let's have less quantity and higher quality when it comes to our kids. It's the kindest thing we can do for them, after all.

When one reads some comments below, one can sense some people are very judgemental n comment upon the guys looks rather than appreciating his efforts n knowledge in the subject. He is confident about his subject n he ll succeed for sure n people ll benefit by his research.

Objective morality is nonsense? Watch Sam Harris. He's a neuroscience phd and author the moral landscape. He says science can answer moral questions. And that objective morality is truth.
