Someone already born will 'live to 1,000 and immortality IS possible'
• http://www.express.co.ukDr Aubrey de Grey believes people who have already been born could live for ten centuries because of ongoing research being done into "repairing the effects of ageing."
He hopes to ultimately create preventative treatments that mean humans would be able to consistently re-repair and live as long as 1,000 years or possible even forever.
British-born Mr de Grey, who graduated from Cambridge University in 1985 insists he is one of very few scientists looking at preventing, rather than slowing down ageing, and is perplexed why there is not huge focus on it.
He told the actuary.com: "To me, ageing was the world's most important problem. It was so obvious that I never tested the assumption. I always presumed that everyone else thought the same."

I'm trying. :) http://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/26/meet-the-company-offering-a-chance-at-immortality-for-200000.html I want to spread my philosophy 1000 years from now! I've written a Libertarian manifesto in the form of a nerdy physics/philosophy book. Some of you will hopefully love it. http://MyNewPhilosophy.com Elaine
He's Keith Richards!
Please someone tell me that the person who lives to 1,000 won't be Dick "Satan's Sock Puppet" Cheney!
