Aubrey de Grey: Prospects for Defeating Aging Altogether (5/26/09)

Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Science Officer, The Methuselah Foundation

Aging is an undeniable fact of life. But what if we could turn back the clock – or at least put aging on hold? De Grey will explain how future therapies may add decades of healthy years to our lives, and why our aging population will probably continue to benefit from progressively improved therapies and avoid debilitation or death from age-related causes at any age.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on May 26, 2009.
