Explore the concept of Longevity Escape Velocity, which Dr. De Grey has proposed as a way to stay one step ahead of the aging process through repeated application of damage repair therapies.
-
Familiarize yourself with the history of science and the paradigm shifts that have occurred throughout time, as this can help provide context for understanding the resistance Dr. De Grey faced in proposing his ideas on aging.
-
Research the different types of age-related damage and their potential impact on health, including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, and sarcopenia, to understand the importance of focusing on health span rather than just life span.
-
Consider the analogy between living organisms and manmade machines, as proposed by Dr. De Grey, to better understand the concept of damage accumulation and the potential for repair in both living and non-living systems.
-
Investigate the concept of negligible senescence as coined by Caleb Finch and how this idea has influenced Dr. De Grey's approach to engineered negligible senescence.
-
Look for opportunities to engage with the gerontology community and participate in discussions surrounding the potential for extending health spans and combating age-related diseases.
Engineered Negligible Senescence
Engineered Negligible Senescence (ENS) seeks to prevent or reverse the aging process, focusing on the repair of cellular and molecular damage that accrues over time. The underlying principle is that our biological age, determined by the wear and tear our bodies undergo, can be slowed down and potentially extended through vigilant maintenance. The ultimate goal of ENS is not simply to prolong life for its own sake, but to increase health span, curtailing age-related illnesses such as Alzheimer's, cancer, sarcopenia, and arthritis. Dr. Aubrey De Grey, a guest on the Beauty and the BS with Dr. Peter Grossman podcast, elaborated on the concept of ENS and its importance in addressing age-related health problems. Although his ideas faced resistance initially, De Grey remains confident in their potential benefits within his lifetime. By focusing on periodic, preventative maintenance, he believes it may be possible to delay the issues related to aging by 20 or 30 years, ultimately leading to longer, healthier lives.
