Episode 19: Science, Philosophy and Economics of Slowing Down The Ageing Process by Dr. Aubrey de Grey

  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Longevity India podcast, we host Aubrey de Grey, president of the Longevity Escape Velocity foundation and well-known researcher in the field of aging and regenerative medicine. We discuss Aubrey's vision for longevity escape velocity, a point at which the rate of aging decline is greater than the rate of aging, leading to indefinite lifespans.

    He passionately discussed the profound impact of decelerating the aging process on the global economy. Beginning with a comprehensive definition of the aging process, he eloquently explored the potential characteristics of a longevity protocol once we achieve longevity escape velocity. Throughout his insightful discourse, he touched upon diverse topics related to longevity and slowing down the ageing process.

    Aubrey de Grey is a British biomedical gerontologist who is known for his work on strategies for engineered negligible senescence (SENS), a proposed approach to slowing or reversing aging. He is the author of The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging and co-author of Ending Aging.

    De Grey began his career as a computer scientist, but he switched to biogerontology in the early 1990s. He is the Chief Science Officer of the SENS Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to funding research into SENS. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Rejuvenation Research.

    De Grey is a passionate advocate for life extension. He believes that aging is a curable disease and that it is possible to live for thousands of years. He is a popular speaker and has appeared in a number of media outlets, including TED, CBS 60 Minutes, and The Guardian.

    De Grey's work has the potential to have a major impact on human health and longevity. If his research is successful, it could mean that people alive today could live for centuries or even millennia.
