Aubrey de Grey: Longevity Is Just a Side Effect of Health
The 200 Year Life Project: The Ultimate Longevity Journey
Aubrey de Grey, the gerontologist behind the LEV Foundation and the idea of longevity escape velocity, gives us roughly a 50-50 chance of reaching it within 12 to 15 years. He doesn't call himself a longevity researcher at all: he works on health, and longer life is the side effect. At 71, I asked him what arrives first, who gets it, and what someone my age should start doing now. In this conversation we cover: Why aging is accumulated damage, and why the body can be maintained like a machine Longevity escape velocity, explained, and why 60-year-olds will get the first treatments What the LEV...

What Is Longevity Escape Velocity? Aubrey de Grey's Big Idea, Explained at 71
The 200 Year Life Project: The Ultimate Longevity Journey
I am 71 years old and I intend to be the first person to reach 200. That sounds like a punchline until you understand the one idea that makes it a scientific target instead of a wish. It is called longevity escape velocity, and it is the subject of my newest video. What Is Longevity Escape Velocity? Longevity escape velocity is the point at which medicine adds more than one year of healthy life for every year that passes. Right now, aging takes a little piece of you each year and science claws some of it back, but not all of it. If that ratio ever flips, your remaining life expectancy starts...
