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.
