Aging is NOT a side effect of being alive; it’s simply an evolutionary artifact that can be cured or reversed.

Now, strangely, he seems to have changed his tune. Below is an article from 2011: “A biomedical gerontologist and chief scientist of a foundation dedicated to longevity research, de Grey reckons that within his own lifetime doctors could have all the tools they need to "cure" aging -- banishing diseases that come with it and extending life indefinitely.”

delet this before Bryan sees it

Though if you cut that beard you'd like 20 years younger. Just saying. 😉

He does look like someone who would believe that
