The Scientist Who Believes We Can Reverse Aging | Dr. Aubrey de Grey ►Rob Konrad: Conversations #010

Dr Aubrey de Grey doesn’t just believe that aging, and the suffering that comes with it, can be slowed down - he believes it can be undone altogether.

What’s more, he thinks we are merely a few years away from making the scientific breakthroughs that will enable the medical field to put an end to death related to ageing - for good.

His independently funded non-profit, the SENS Foundation, is at the forefront of radical research that combines the problem solving approaches of technology with geriatric medicine.

In this conversation, he talks to Rob about his refusal to age gracefully, the biases of modern science, immortality, and why he won’t waste his time thinking about whether or not God exists.

Aubrey De Grey is a pioneer and tireless advocate for research into human longevity. He continues unabated despite the resistance people exhibit to this topic. I constantly try to increase the awareness into the research of aging but find that people, much to my amazement, aren't interested in learning. I don't understand the ubiquitous acceptance of aging and death. Maybe you could interview other leaders and researchers in this field. Thanks.

I strongly agree that aging is the biggest problem of humanity: 100k deaths per day with decades of suffering and unpaired freedom and life quality, for us, parents and everyone. Maybe we don't need immortality but definitely more time to breath. The point is life quality, lightheartedness. Health and youth. Please at least strongly expand the youthspan at least 2 or 3 times!!! :)

Regardless of the title, thanks for uploading this video. :)

Been following him for over a decade. Nothing of significance has been announced with all the research. Projections keep getting pushed back, seems to be going nowhere. Not surprised Peter Theil pulled his funding for a time.

I like how the ad said "we can CURE aging" as if it is unnatural or some kind of harmful virus lol I will gladly age. As getting old is something I actually look forward to and I'm only 25! People really have to stop discrediting the beauty of aging and start to appreciate the journey to the fullest. Reverse this! Replace that! New remedy! The more dependant you become on youthfulness, the worse it'll get for your fight to never age. I will embrace my wrinkles and achy bones! I will love my grey hairs of wisdom! I will see younger people and not desire to duplicate their features, as I've accepted my run was long and good one! You can't cure something that isn't actually harmful. That's alike to the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Because you're supposedly FIXING something that isn't broken or in this case virus-driven or disease-stricken! But this is what society has always been and is becoming. So please people, if a wrinkle less a day keep depression away... Reverse on! Reverse age on my friends! Because you're worth it! lol
