Thanks for sharing this info. I was able to catch a bit of the talk because of your link to the live streaming. I’m currently working on the marketing and distribution of a feature documentary called HOW TO LIVE FOREVER, which explores issues of longevity and features Aubrey de Grey, Jack LaLanne, a host of centenarians and many interesting characters. In case you are interested in learning more, feel free to check out the film’s website: http://LiveForeverMovie.com or drop me an email. Thanks again!

Congratulations to Dr J and to all the other people mentioned, for devoting their lives to doing what is right, despite limited support or recognition. I can see the grey hairs on Dr J’s head though. Mike Treders too (what litle is left of it).
I’ve always viewed what aging does to people as a horrific abomination. You see old and grey folks wandering about, and they are largely ignored…invisible almost. It’s really horrible. And then there is dementia, where once genius minds are destroyed and the former genius is reduced to a gibbering zombie. There are things worse than death….
I’m 39 now, I’ve been lucky, despite anxiously checking myself on a regular basis for the slightest signs of aging, I can see little to no evidence as of yet. My hair is still the same shiny blond mop it always was. I may be one of the lucky ones. I fear my luck may not last however. Dreams of Singularity have not panned out. So this is the cause I definitely want to focus on now, as I approaching the danger zone of middle-age, and I’m hoping to contribute somehow.
