Anti-Aging Pioneer: Aubrey de Grey

① Aging is not a mystery, says famed British researcher Aubrey de Grey, perhaps the world's foremost advocate of the provocative view that medical technology will one day allow humans to control the aging process and live healthily into our hundreds—or even thousands.

② He likens aging to a car wearing down over time; as the body operates normally, it accumulates damage which can be tolerated for a while, but eventually sends us into steep decline.

③ The most promising way to escape this biological reality, he says, is to repair the damage as needed with precise scientific tools.

④ The bad news is that doing this groundbreaking research takes a long time and a lot of money, which has not always been readily available.

⑤ But the good news for de Grey—and those who are cheering him on—is that his view is becoming less radical these days.

⑥ Both the academic and private sectors are racing to tackle aging; his own research foundation, for one, has spun out into five different companies.

⑦ De Grey estimates that human trials for his 'anti-aging therapy' might start in the next five years.

⑧ Defeating aging, he says, "is not just a future industry; it's an industry now that will be both profitable and extremely good for your health”
