Aubrey de Grey on CNN.com, November 30th
(Thursday November 19 2009)
 | From CNN: "This special edition of Vital Signs: The Clinic will be broadcast LIVE on CNN.com [on November 30th] and we want you to take part in the conversation. ... Vital Signs host and CNN Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be joined by best-selling author Dan Buettner who has done extensive studies on the areas in the world people live the longest, healthiest lives, known as Blue Zones, and shares their formula for a long life.
The other panelist is geneticist Dr. Aubrey de Grey, who believes regenerative medicine could, in a matter of decades, extend life expectancy to 1000 years. What would you ask the experts? Do you want to learn how to live until 100 and beyond? Or find out which diets or exercise to follow for living longer?" These are good examples of the two very opposite ends of the respectable pro-longevity community. The Blue Zones material is (to be charitable) just a branding of what is known of the relationship between good health practices in diet and exercise and human longevity. Aubrey de Grey's Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence, on the other hand, are a serious examination of how to greatly extend healthy human life span through near-future research and development. |
