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 has been stirring up the scientific community for many years with his radical statements: he is convinced that aging is not an inevitable process, but a curable disease. Moreover, the scientist believes that in the foreseeable future, people will be able to live not just longer, but... up to 1000 years.

🔬 Who is Aubrey de Grey?

Aubrey de Grey is a renowned biogerontologist, former Cambridge University researcher, and one of the founders of the SENS Research Foundation. He has dedicated his career to developing theoretical and practical methods to combat organism aging. His main idea is not to stop biological aging, but to repair the damage it causes at the cellular and molecular level.

🧠 How does he propose to fight aging?

De Grey developed the theory of "aging engineering" - an approach where age-related damage can be eliminated as it appears. According to him, with the help of gene therapy, cellular regeneration, and nanotechnology, the body can be regularly "maintained" like a machine, preventing it from wearing out.

📣 Why are his ideas controversial?

The scientific community is divided. Some consider de Grey a visionary and revolutionary, others - a dreamer with insufficient empirical basis. Nevertheless, his works are actively discussed in scientific circles, he 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 ideas is growing. Foundations are investing millions in anti-aging research, and in Silicon Valley, aging is already being called "the next big problem that needs to be hacked."
