    whats the point in living forever when you have to do all that crap this guy is doing to stay alive.

    besides he cant control free radicals being ingested every time he breathes therefore he wont live forever.

    the fact that he is balding is also an indication that he is ageing too.

    :confused:

    It has'nt been invented it yet! :D

    If it ever will be, it won't matter if free-radicals harm his body. As the nanocells with counteract, and replenish any damage caused! :)

    Ageing only occurs when your body's cells degenerate, as we all know. But nonocells will regenerate them! :D

    It's pretty cool to think that someone could stay, say 21... forever! :)

    You just know that even if he lives long enough to see a way to immortality developed, he'll get hit by a bus on his way to the treatment.

    And his thinking humans are above nature? Horrible mistake.

    Why on earth would you want to do that?
    Personally, I'm findng the idea of another 50 years pretty hard to handle tbh.
    You life would lose any sort of meaning whatsoever.
    This guy is definitely in the grip of a mid-life crisis I think.

    It would be nice to live longer and that everyone could benefit from this - not just rich people in the first world - and not use up all resources that are there for future generations. I don't think we'll ever get true immortality - we're just not built for it.

    I reckon sooner or later we will "beat" nature and halt the aging process aswell as find cures to all disease. I'm just not sure it'll be within the next 20/30 years.

    There is merit in what he's saying though, technological progress is increasing at an exponential rate and will continue to. You just have to look at the advancments in the past 20 years, and compare them to the hundred before that, and the 500 before that to realise this. Fantastic - in the true sense of the word - things will be discovered and created this century. Great time to be alive :)
