Aging kills more people than cancer, heart disease, and accidents combined - often causing tremendous suffering along the way - yet most accept it as inevitable. In this episode with world-renowned biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey, we explore the promise of treating aging as an engineering problem that can be solved. We discuss the seven types of cellular damage that cause aging (according to the SENS framework) and potential therapies to repair each. The conversation also covers the timeline for achieving longevity escape velocity, the funding and regulatory landscape, the imminent public awakening to the very real possibility of radical lifespan extension, and more.
