Quote: “Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it”

  • Ray Kurzweil

Too much time…..

Why this person is important:

Computer scientist, inventor, and futurist (one of the greatest of the modern era)

What is Longevity

  • Dictionary – long existence or service

  • Medicine and Science – long duration of individual life

What is Geroscience:

  • Gero (Greek - old)

  • A field of biomedical research that focusses on understanding the biology of aging and how aging contributes to disease

  • Geroscience, geroscientist, geroprotective, gerontocracy, gerontophobia

Why Longevity

  • Longer Life? People want to live longer and better? More time young. Not more time old.

  • live forever? Scares many. Plasticity of youth would be so important in this case

  • look good and do the things we love for longer? Yes!

I believe: Longevity and understanding/controlling aging are key to human advancement and long-term success.
