  • YOU SHALT NOT AGE!!!

  • Immortality is not what he is talking about. That implies you will never die. You will still be vulnerable to choking, or getting hit by a bus, falling down an elevator shaft, etc. What he is talking about is extending potential life and giving people a choice about how long they would like to live. Then, if they decide they've had enough, they have a choice to not keep going.

    People don't think of aging as "bad" or as a problem...people see it just as a fact of life. It's a matter of perspective. Certainly, if the issue were brought up in conversation, anyone would say that aging/death was bad. Another speaker at a different TED conference spoke about certain problems being invisible to people because they are either too big or too common/too familiar. I think that it applies with aging/death.

  • I just think it's astonishing that anyone has to convince anyone that aging is bad.

    I can't seem to wrap my head around it at all, but there it is.

  • Here is the question, How can you keep all the expriences of life in all its stages from childhood to old age when you are still active like a 25 years old?, differnet exprience only can be achieved or realized when the body slows down, othewise a man in the football flied will run forever over this stupid ball for the rest of his life, if his body doesn't slows down and could no longer run fast. if he spend time on the brian from detoriateing would have much benefint than the physical aging

  • look up transhumanism

  • De Gray really needs a makeover. Not just physically. Don't get me wrong, I find his ideas exciting and his arguments worthwhile. I just don't think his personal presentation is one that will convince many.  Until, y'know, he gets proven right.

  • @alpenjon At first, yes.

    But it's been that way throughout all of history. It's that way right now. It will be that way tomorrow.

  • I SUPPORT THE ONE CHILD POLICY!
