@PhantomRaiser See? Both of you (plus me) agree that the world should focus on science, science and more science. That's the Era when we could remove the 'im' from 'impossible'. Why bother with conflict? Wars on territory? We could end famine, disease, DEATH. That's what human beings are all about: living long, and prosper.

@Prolite that it's possible even now, although no one cares these days. There will be better days when all the world will be concerned on science not politics or war scandals... I hope this will happen

@squamish4244 yes the sun will burn out in 5 billion years from. By then the posthuman race would be far out into space, and with that kind of future technology would problably control our sun. I know he might seem kinda harsh, but I think we both really want to live as long as possible, and we try to convince people why things like anti ageing technologies will benefit us. (and living forever is impossible, forever never, ever, ever, ever ends)

@StormZephyr Was talking about an issue being turned into a "Republican VS. Democrat" type thing. I just hope it doesn't but there is a pretty good chance it will in the coming years and decades.

@curingaging00 It will be a partisan topic. It is already a partisan topic. Some people believe it is immoral to outstrip our "natural lifespan."

[curingaging00]

I can for see defeating aging will be within the healthcare debates of the future. Lets just hope it stays a non-partisan topic.

Sad, but all times in history - all geniuses were discriminated and was not very popular because regular people just don't understand them...

That's what the differences between genius and non - geniuses all are different from regular people, cause regular people have no abilities to be geniuses.

@PedroNGCProductions Well, it;s not exactly a theory..the sun WILL burn out in about 5 billion years...as you well know. But calm down man, so what if I disagree with you? You've freaked out on everyone who has in the last five hours! How happy would you be living forever with that kind of attitude?

@squamish4244 What's wrong with you? Here I am, being all poetic and stuff (scientific, nonetheless), and you come and say that? What's that supposed to mean? Yes, I'm well aware of the theory of the Universe's heat death, that is exactly that, a theory. Even if it's true, and in the future entropy will reach it's peaking point, what about the M-theory? Multiverses? Traveling back in time? By then, I bet we'll have it all figured out. We, as a race, are still so young, and have so much to learn.

@Demagogue88 You're right, this video is nothing but stupidity, hence the thumbs down people have been giving it. Aubrey de Grey is a spectacular man, capable of revolutionizing the way we see life. I hope he succeeds!

@LuciferLBelial Well, "Lucifer", have you ever heard of the possibility that the Universe out there is imense, or rather infinite? We already went to the moon, we could go to Mars if we wanted to... Heck, if I could stop ageing, I would definetely sign up for living on the moon, even (and this is hard for me) without Internet!

@PhantomRaiser Wow, we've got a genious in the house. He can even touch neurons. Ever heard of undifferentiated cells? Also known as stem cells? And this is just ONE of the MANY possibilities. A neural stem cell HAS BEEN PROVEN (as in, already has) to be able to develop into a functional neuron. So don't come with all that "i'm smarter than any scientist on earth" crap.
