Last week we delved into the topic of extreme life extension with futurist/inventor Ray Kurzweil and took note of an anti-aging initiative proposed by British gerontologist Aubrey de Grey and his colleagues. Now David Despain has pointed me toward his interview with de Grey, posted to the KurzweilAI website. Give it a look, and weigh in with your second thoughts.

Great stuff; thanks for pointing it out. It's a very good sign that the default assumption -- that aging and death are inevitable -- is finally starting to crack. It's a difficult problem, and I think it's too early to know exactly how difficult... but we certainly won't solve it if we don't try.
Second that.
I'm 86 and still learning and want to continue with my inventive art and design work - and it would be great to continue adinfinitum without the interruption of physical demise - Man's role in the obvious scheme of it all is to learn - explore - discover and invent with what was a given for him to pursue in the dimensional with a nondimensional intelligence and I'm just beginning!
