Do You Want To Live Forever?

"Do You Want To Live Forever?" is a Channel 4 Documentary following the revolutionary life-extension and immortality ideas of this somewhat eccentric scientist, Dr. Aubrey de Grey.

This show is all about the radical ideas of a Cambridge biomedical gerontologist called Aubrey de Grey who believes that, within the next 20-30 years, we could extend life indefinitely by addressing seven major factors in the aging process. He describes his work as Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS).

The problem with being a genius is that everyone around you is a moron....so alcohol is needed to cope.

How many people do you have working on it? Have you done all of the experiments? Bla Bla Bla....Give the man some fucking funding so he can find out you asshole! Did Einstein actually travel at the speed of light and go back in time? No, however, his theories have been accepted and many were subsequently proven. All great ideas come from theories and creative thinking.

@kingwillie206 actually he has been given lots of funding and has moved from England to Silicon Valley in California. Lots of people working on his ideas. I don't want to live forever, but what years I do have, I want them to be healthy ones.

If I were to have a healthy body and a lifestyle full of exercise, good food, sex and learning I would happily live for the foreseeable future.

@donjames150 the higher ones IQ the more beer one requires.

one things for sure if there is a real way to "treat" aging only a couple people will be able to afford it

I can look at him and see that he does not look like a sixteen year old. Once he brings his looks back to sixteen, then, and only then will I become a believer. Until then, good luck!

Aubrey is one of those special geniuses of civilisation?! Oh come on; the man may be smart and quick-witted, but he's obviously no von Neumann, no William James Sidis.

I'm surprised space colonization wasn't discussed as an answer to overpopulation, instead they had some really bizarre and morbid ideas about life trading.
