Cambridge University geneticist Aubrey de Grey has famously stated, “The first person to live to be 1,000 years old is certainly alive today …whether they realize it or not, barring accidents and suicide, most people now 40 years or younger can expect to live for centuries.”</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/11/can-humans-live.html"><P>Perhaps de Gray is way too optimistic, but plenty of others have joined
the search for a virtual fountain of youth. In fact, a growing number
of scientists, doctors, geneticists and nanotech experts—many with
impeccable academic credentials—are insisting that there is no hard
reason why ageing can’t be dramatically slowed or prevented altogether.
Not only is it theoretically possible, they argue, but a scientifically
achievable goal that can and should be reached in time to benefit those
alive today.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/11/can-humans-live.html">“I am working on immortality,” says Michael Rose, a professor of
evolutionary biology at the University of California, Irvine, who has
achieved breakthrough results extending the lives of fruit flies.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5537386A-FBF8-444B-B7D0-13F824B8407C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
