We will be able to live to 1,000

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Aubrey de Grey has long been saying that We will be able to live to 1,000. The news is that BBC News is publishing his piece:

If you are a reasonably risk-aware teenager today in an affluent, non-violent neighbourhood, you have a risk of dying in the next year of well under one in 1,000, which means that if you stayed that way forever you would have a 50/50 chance of living to over 1,000.

And remember, none of that time would be lived in frailty and debility and dependence — you would be youthful, both physically and mentally, right up to the day you mis-time the speed of that oncoming lorry.
