The possibility of humans living forever, or at least for many centuries, is something my brother and I have been discussing for a couple of decades now. We're both all for it. And, he actually did something about making it happen, by devoting the past ten years to getting his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, with a specialization in longevity studies. He just got the Ph.D. last year, and is now working on starting his own anti-aging biotech company. He tells me there is no reason why humans shouldn't be able to live for centuries, it's just a matter of figuring out how to apply what science knows about longevity to the human body and mind. He believes it will happen in our lifetimes, and we will be able to take advantage of it. I'm counting on him to rejuvenate me, himself, and anyone else we know who wants it. As a proud big sister, I fully expect him to change the world. :)
I just shot him a text to ask if he's heard of you. I'll post back when he responds. He's pretty familiar with all the big names in the field.
I'm inspired to hear of the dedication of your brother to this cause. The good news is that more and more of the science of longevity is becoming publicly accessible, via initiatives like http://genomics.senescence.info/. This will boost the number of "citizen scientists" who will be able to get involved in the field. As a result, progress can accelerate. The sooner, the better!
He looked you up, and said he would put you on his list of people whose work he follows. He is also a big fan of Ray Kurzweil. He got me to read "The Singularity is Near" several years ago. It's a fascinating book. However, I think the direction things are going with anti-aging and rejuvenation research and resulting treatments is much more exciting.
My brother just came around and took DNA samples from a large group of his family and friends last week to use as a test batch on an experiment he's running for his biotech start-up. I was a test subject! He always promised me I could be, with anything he developed. Hopefully, between his work and the work of others, we WILL see genuine rejuvenation and an indefinite extension of youth and longevity in the near future. It will change the human race for the better.
