British (department of genetics at Cambridge University) scientist Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., is interviewed by Bloomberg news correspondent Janet Street-Porter. A brief overview on how aging could be curable and extreme life extension could be available in as little as 25 years and the scientific debate surrounding such a proposition.
I know it’s quite an old story from 2005, but the Bloomberg interview, which is just posted on video.google.com, is quite interesting. Although it does not say much how Aubrey de Grey’s research is conducted, I hope he or others make a breakthrough. In short it still strikes me as a nice scientific fairytale
Video and links:
“Unlike engineers, the adoption of whose methodology de Grey considers his main conceptual contribution to solving the problems of aging, biologists do not approach physiological events as distinct entities that have no effect on any others. Each of de Grey’s interventions will very likely result in unpredictable and incalculable responses the next thing you know, it all explodes in your face.“
