Reversing ageing

Filed under: Handy/insightful — barisacar @ 11:03 am

From my friend Nic:

so to save me repeating it to more of you, and at the risk of sounding like a crank, this is the website of the Cambridge academic who’s at the forefront of saying we don’t have to die of old age:

I met him during my sabbatical and he’s definitely genuine, he’s not after money. Then I went to a scientific conference he organised and met enough thoughtful people and saw enough research presentations to convince me that he’s maybe even right about this being possible for our generation. Even the biologists there who strongly disagree with him disagreed only on timescales, not his basic points

For more on whether he could be right, have a read of this by its editor (who I also met at the conference, and who is keen to get the scientific community to pronounce more on these ideas)

thought-provoking…
