Fascinating
seven-page profile of
Aubrey de Grey, the controversial scientist with the
very long beard who believes that scientists will cure death and aging within our parents' lifetimes:
By July 2000, further assiduous application had brought him to what some have called his “eureka moment,” the insight he speaks of as his realization that “aging could be described as a reasonably small set of accumulating and eventually pathogenic molecular and cellular changes in our bodies, each of which is potentially amenable to repair.”[emphasis mine]
Dr. de Grey's theories have previously given hope to my bleak world of thanatophobic despair
here and
here.
