Is immortality not a myth? Scientist Aubrey de Grey claims that people will be able to live up to 1000 years

British biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey challenges traditional notions of aging, shocking the scientific community with his revolutionary statements. The scientist insists: aging is not an inevitable process, but a disease that can be defeated. Moreover, according to his bold predictions, in the foreseeable future, human lifespan could reach an incredible mark – 1000 years.

🔬 Who is Aubrey de Grey?

Aubrey de Grey is a distinguished biogerontologist, former researcher at Cambridge University and co-founder of the SENS Research Foundation. His entire scientific career has been dedicated to developing methods to combat aging at both theoretical and practical levels. The scientist's key concept is not to stop biological aging, but to systematically repair the damage it causes at cellular and molecular levels.

🧠 How does he propose to fight aging?

De Grey is the author of the concept of "engineering aging" – a revolutionary approach in which age-related damage is eliminated as it occurs. The scientist claims that a combination of gene therapy, cellular regeneration, and nanotechnology will allow for regular "maintenance" of the body, similar to a machine, preventing its wear and destruction.

📣 Why are his ideas controversial?

The scientific community is divided in its assessment of de Grey's theories. Some scientists consider him a brilliant visionary and revolutionary, others – a dreamer whose ideas lack sufficient empirical basis. Despite conflicting opinions, the biogerontologist's work is actively discussed in scientific circles, he regularly speaks at international conferences and gives resonant interviews.

"The first person who will live to 1000 years has already been born," claims Aubrey de Grey.

📈 Interest in biogerontology is growing

Against the backdrop of global population aging and an increasing number of centenarians, interest in de Grey's bold ideas is rapidly growing. Major foundations are investing millions of dollars in anti-aging research, and in Silicon Valley, aging is already openly called "the next big problem that needs to be hacked."
