I recently “Clipped” ( The Clipmark Widget is located in the sidebar) Do you really want to live forever this brought in an interesting comment from Lexica
Definitely food for thought. When I first came across it, my reaction was “what a horrible idea – aging and death are part of the natural cycle.” However, if one defines “aging” as “cumulative damage”, as Aubrey de Grey does, it raises the question: what benefit is gained from permitting damage to accumulate if it’s possible to avoid it? What if we could prevent the negative symptoms of aging so that people are vigorous and healthy all their lives? Lexica included a link to this Aubrey de Grey interesting TED Talk on ageing.
