Aubrey de Grey on TEDTalks: Aging is "an engineering problem"

Aubrey DeGrey

Aubrey de Grey, British biogerontologist and founder of SENS, controversially claims to have created a roadmap to defeat biological aging. In this talk, he argues that aging — like other diseases — can be cured, and that humans can live for centuries, if only we approach the aging process as "an engineering problem." (Recorded July 2005 in Oxford, UK. Duration: 23:31)
