    Lesson to be learned: we might be on the verge of multiplied lifespan. So keep yourself healthy so if the solution comes in lets say 30 years, you are healthy enough to board the train to "immortality"

      True. Even better, try to contribute to the research, or at least spread the word so that others contribute and support.

    I just hope that open ai realises agi soon by the next decade so the real experiments can begin,by 2050 we should be experiencing some amazing breaktroughts in aging, im so hyped for the future,if i ever lived to be 150 it would be the year 2153,its just intresting to think how advanced tehcnology will become by the next ceuntry !

    Anyone I have known who lived into their 90s avoided doctors and hospitals. Once you are in your 70s, most, will end up taking meds for blood pressure, heart or some other age related illness. Once you take (for example) tablet for your heart that may have an affect on you kidneys and so you take a tablet for your kidneys this affects maybe your liver and so you take tablet for that and so on and on and on until all these chemical tablets make you sick and kill you. If you began by taking the right foods to reduce your (for example) blood pressure and took some more exercise etc.. instead of medication .. guess what you would end up will less illness and more than likely live longer. The biggest killer today is the quick fix attitude we have developed. If I take this tablet it will make me better in 3 days, 3 weeks or a relatively short amount of time.This is what we want to hear and what we have been lead to believe is best for us. Well no one wants to feel sick for long, true. But if you start now before you are sick, even better. However If you told someone to eat beetroot because it lowers blood pressure naturally but it may take 3 to six months to see results, they are not interested and want the quick fix and yes of course do not want to feel ill for that amount of time. In truth eating the right foods over time becomes what our cells are made of. We replace our cells everyday millions of times over and the food we eat, what we put into our bodies is what helps to make up these cells. So you are what you eat is so true, chemicals are not the best for our bodies. Good food is. Move it or lose it also applies☺ walk 15 minutes from your door and you ve got to get back home so that is a 30 minute walk daily.. ☺good start and 3.5 hours of a walk a week that maybe you did not get before. Walking is so good for our bobies and keeps our mental health good too. Small steps can make the biggest of changes to how we feel and how long we can keep our health. Mind - Body - Spirit... each day feed all three well. ☺

    Interesting how fast the cost of DNA sequencing has dropped since this talk already! £125?
    Very exciting to think we can replicated natures own tricks through drug and probably gene editing if/when there is social and lawful acceptance.

    • @NeuroticKnight9
      @NeuroticKnight9 8 лет назад +2

      Only reason drugs rather than gene editing is a target is legality/societal views. I see though as a very selfish thought that since genes of adults cant be edited for disease resistance, we shouldnt do so for future children.

    What "Bio Technology" Topics are ready now from "Basic Research" at University Lab to "Technology Development" ? What About Telemarase vs Genomic vs Some other emerging opportunity for biomed intervention ?

    • @NeuroticKnight9
      @NeuroticKnight9 8 лет назад

      The problem with telomerase is that it enhances cancer as well. Until we find an effective way to remove cancerous cells, it may be more harmful than beneficial.

    although tremendous progress has been made in this field over the last 15 years, it will probably take 70 years, or more to fulfill "radical life extension" I hope I'm wrong.

    • @colinglen4505
      @colinglen4505 7 лет назад +3

      Mike...we mustn't forget that we have extended human life considerably... I think primitive man had a 30 ish year life span. and, I can remember as a kid that many people of 45 years of age looked extremely old and unhealthy.

      70 years is a take held by many pessimists in the field but detractors anticipate some major groundbreaking in this field in 20 or so years, which hopefully will be enough to keep us alive long enough to access even better life extending medicine. Not to mention that many venture capitalists and Silicon Valley startups are beginning to emerge around this field. It's barely out of its infancy but thats far better than the prognosis was 20 years ago.

      If it does, there are other options, like cryopreservation.

    • @colinglen4505
      @colinglen4505 7 лет назад +6

      regikeyz ...not entirely random, the port wine and chocolate was mentioned earlier and he was commenting that the whale was living to a ripe old age despite not having access medical practice., which points to a genetic reason for longevity.
