Description

Today we explore human longevity and life extension efforts focused on adding healthy years to a person's lifespan, and even reversing the aging process.   My guest is Dr. Aubrey de Grey, a leading voice in the field and the Chief Science Officer of the SENS Research Foundation which is doing pioneering work on significantly extending healthy, active lifespans. Aubrey is a biomedical gerontologist with a degree in Computer Science and a Ph.D. in Biology. He is author of the book "Ending Aging" and Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal "Rejuvenation Research".   Aubrey sees life extension as a side effect of his efforts to make people healthier, and sees no inherent limit to how far this could ultimately extend. We explore such concepts the "pro aging trance", "longevity escape velocity" and "comprehensive damage repair" that can sustain a human body.   More on Aubrey and the SENS Research Foundation: https://www.sens.org   More at: https://www.MindAndMachine.io
