So 85,<br> 90 or 100 years or even more than this? More important than the time we live is our health in old age.\n\nJane Calmint,<br> who died in 1997 at the age of 122,<br> remains the oldest woman whose age has been verified so far.\n\nScientists in the United States believe that,<br> in the near future,<br> drugs can help delay aging and increase the lifetime of a person.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPk64XtToLyfwwdDvWwVmnAdTVTy369uutonhVo3vGtbt\/image.png)\n\n# But do these treatments mean that we can live longer?\n\nUndoubtedly,<br> according to Aubrey de Gray,<br> a geriatric specialist and perhaps the world's largest defender of longevity,<br> medical advances are believed to enable humans to live for hundreds of years.\n\nDe Gray spent millions of pounds of his own money in aging research,<br> chief science officer at Sines Research,<br> and has labs in Silicon Valley,<br> California.\n\n\"I have not yet met someone who wants Alzheimer's disease,<br>\" Lee said. \"As a result of aging,<br> ill health is the biggest problem facing the world.\"\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQMTUjvY4LnxswYKF9fBeqLpEYJmoW9DfUVmtrXvexKg7\/image.png)\n\nHe believes medicine is close to solving the problem. \"There will be no limits to how long people can live when we can control and control aging,<br>\" he says.\n\n\"People will still die,<br> there are still trucks that will hit them,<br> but in fact people will live on average for much longer,<br> and they will only die when some strange things happen like an asteroid hitting the earth,<br>\" De Gray said.\n\nMore importantly,<br> Dr. De Gray believes that medical progress means that we will spend those extra years in good health.\nThe idea of \u200b\u200bdefeating aging has few supporters.\n\nBut if there is anywhere in the world where this can be achieved,<br> it will be in the Silicon Valley.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZmMxxRdxeUemawAzFrUzu3qmvqqRNcZxFJeyRecH3y9J\/image.png)\n\nThe billionaires in the technology sector there are used to thinking outside the box and challenging traditional ideas.\n\nIn 2013 Google,<br> the world's technology giant,<br> established Calico (California Life),<br> its mission \"to empower people to live longer and healthier lives.\"\n\nCalico has not announced its research based in an anonymous building,<br> even without a signboard definition.\n\nIn 2016,<br> Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg pledged to \"cure,<br> prevent or treat all diseases\" by the end of the century.\n\nLaura Deming,<br> a California entrepreneur,<br> has set up a longevity fund that invests in companies trying to solve aging-related problems.\n\nLaura told me that curiosity is driving the Silicon Valley,<br> the same curiosity that drives 14-year-olds to computer programming in their bedrooms,<br> and drives young people in their 20s or 30s to harness their minds and money to reverse the process of life and death. \"\n\nThe extension of life is certainly possible in simple organisms such as yeast,<br> fruit flies or worms.\n\nBut it becomes more difficult with more sophisticated organisms.\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUCN9iLK1XPEjbysq6RznrVmJZuhFX1MFuHBNTw6H5Zjz\/image.png)\n\nAubrey de Gray,<br> a geriatric specialist believes that medical advances will enable humans to live for hundreds of years.\n\nSource:\nhttps:\/\/www.ted.com\/speakers\/aubrey_de_grey\nhttps:\/\/www.livescience.com\/59645-no-limit-to-human-life-span.html\nhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aubrey_de_Grey",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"science\",<br>\"health\",<br>\"news\",<br>\"blog\",<br>\"life\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQE7a4d8mkS4KRhPFUbmfWP3jaKhB9CtDmEDwYbbdFBiJ\/image.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPk64XtToLyfwwdDvWwVmnAdTVTy369uutonhVo3vGtbt\/image.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQMTUjvY4LnxswYKF9fBeqLpEYJmoW9DfUVmtrXvexKg7\/image.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZmMxxRdxeUemawAzFrUzu3qmvqqRNcZxFJeyRecH3y9J\/image.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUCN9iLK1XPEjbysq6RznrVmJZuhFX1MFuHBNTw6H5Zjz\/image.png\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.ted.com\/speakers\/aubrey_de_grey\",<br>\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/59645-no-limit-to-human-life-span.html\",<br>\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aubrey_de_Grey\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
