Life extension / gerontology

I've been reading about this guy Aubrey de Grey and watching this lecture, and i didn't see any threads on it already so i thought i'd start one.

what do you guys reckon? Mr Tea, i know you'll have an opinion!

he's apparently also an adviser at the singularity institute, so vimothy might be into this too.

(edit: i'm not sure if gerontology is the correct title for this topic, but whatever)

but as my GF pointed out, all this stuff, when it does happen, will be the ultimate class divide... that between life and death.

cheers for those links, i'll have a read on the tube later.

i wonder where/how essentially immortal humans will fit in with the kind of computer superintelligence that the singularity institute are all about?
