I am confident that when I get really old, the human lifespan will be extended.
Time is the most important thing to me - how can you do all the things you want to do with such limited time… I'm hoping science of life extension makes progress.
Technical civilization has made a great error in not suppressing death, the only human reality still intact
It is astonishing how much more people are interested in lengthening life than improving it.
Atheists have an excellent longevity record because we have no place to go after we die, so we take good care of ourselves and our world while we are here.
People have to change their concepts of aging and I am not asking them to do so based on some fanciful notion, but on scientific fact.
We have the means right now to live long enough to live forever. Existing knowledge can be aggressively applied to dramatically slow down aging processes so we can still be in vital health when the more radical life-extending therapies from biotechnology and nanotechnology become available. But most baby boomers won't make it because they are unaware of the accelerating aging process in their bodies and the opportunity to intervene.
If we could switch off the aging gene we would. There's no technology that we've had that we haven't used. We are in the capital of staying young forever.
I don't see many people with longevity anymore. Everything was harder when I started, and you had to take acting lessons, do theater parts, work on connections and then get lucky. The technology is good, but it's also a hindrance for longevity.
