Eternal life theory controversy — — —
As far as Australia the century newspaper, Cambridge genetics · Professor Aubrey de Grey recently issued an outrageous assertions: human can live to the 1000-year-old, even the 5000-year-old. De Grey claims he has solved the formula for the human aging, analysis of the cause of human aging, and that the future can stop the aging process, so that we "live forever". This theory has a scientific basis? human really goes against nature, "live forever"? the issue raised in the scientific community had a heated discussion.
The "father of the theory of biological ageing" is Professor of Cambridge befuddles
Stephanie was 41 years of de Grey is a Professor of Genetics at the University of Cambridge and formerly was a software engineer and his wife Adelaide · Carpenter is a Cambridge University geneticist, 60 years old this year. De Grey believes that as long as appropriate through the engineering and maintenance, the human may live to 1000 years old.
If de Grey can persuade researchers and investors to follow his advice, he would then have the opportunity to live forever, but his wife Adelaide, this is almost certainly too late. But apparently, Adelaide, do not panic. De Grey said: "like most people, she is also difficult to understand why people want to live forever, but she still looks to the future. ”
De Grey and Adelaide 13 years ago got married, Adelaide has private counselling de Grey biology. The befuddles biologists completed a book on mitochondrial (cell internal "power plant"), thus obtained a doctoral degree, University of Cambridge. About 9 years ago, de Grey and fat fantasy, hope to ever stay young. He said: "I began to consider how I think the human face of the biggest challenges. ”
In September, in the Cambridge University held a seminar, de Grey told several famous experts of Gerontology, humanity entirely possible to live to 1000 years old. He gave the cause of human aging of cells, molecules and genes, such as seven factors, and treatment programmes. In addition, Harvard University Professor Ronald · Kahn explains the research society on its own led a study group in mice finds anti-aging gene. They found that the genes may make the mouse's life increase of 30%. However, in contrast, de Grey has boldly predicted that mankind is expected to live to 5000 years old.
Eternal life theory controversy, boldly predicted who had been referred to as the "geek"
In bio-medical sector, de Grey in the past five years from the "geek" and "useful geek" step by step into "controversial theorist". Last year, the United States Institute of aging by de Grey about using soil microbial gene clear accumulation in cells of unwanted metabolic junk theory-driven, decide for a Studio de Grey provide research funding, but the head of the Institute is still known as de Grey's reasoning is "stupid."
Popular science magazine once said that "the prophet" as the title, specialized open up 5 Edition face de Grey and its theoretical and scientific community coverage of complex feelings. MIT even in order to curb the de Grey, combined with the high esteem, decided a reward of 2 million dollars reward those who prove de Grey theory is garbage.
Aging process generally is considered complicated and mysterious, each time a genuine discovery takes long and hard overall. However, de Grey insists only a few of the factors that affect aging processes, seem to be incredible. This self-taught biologists have never worked in a lab in a cell, it has never done experiments to test their theory, was a theorist. A few years ago, he founded the "Martha's Sarah rats" Foundation to award those who adopted his idea to extend the life of scientists the mice.
In November last year, "Martha's Sarah rats Foundation" issued the first prize, won the prize of the scientists is United States Southern Illinois University School of medicine, Endocrinology, Anders Peter El · sabatke. In his laboratory in a mouse living for nearly 5 years (equivalent to human 150-year-old), and the mouse's life generally only 3 years. De grey on such messages are excited.
Longevity is the promotion of social civilization, some people believe that life should have limits
University of hull · flange of Anthony in his doctoral thesis on the life extension of the ethical issues can arise. Which, he believed that if people are getting bored or maintain their enthusiasm for science and technology started to go downhill, "it can happen more suicides, more people will request euthanasia or assisted suicide, on the western end of the life of a person related to the opinions constitute a challenges. ”
Then, a death threat is the therapy by de Grey, and people are therefore eliminated more generous, more spacious and very little fear?, Assistant Professor of Psychology at New York University, David · Amoco, Dior and don't think so: "you might think that many live more than 100 years of experience will help the society to a smarter, more carefully the development of civilization, but history shows that we do not have the experience from the past to learn too much from them. Modern behavioral economics survey also shows that people will be affected by the fires of short-term returns, prefer return faster, more risky strategy to select return slow, more secure policies. As far as I know, this mode will not change with age. ”
New Zealand's Victoria University psychology professor Tony · Taylor said: "I'm not going to fight for what eternal life. I believe that life should have limits. 80 years old this year, so I have to seriously consider being waved to me of death. But I just tried to extend my own and others ' lives. "Some people cannot help but ask, scientists predict that eternal life, but not to consider this for mankind to what kind of consequences. Human beings live hundreds of years it was also necessary to? human worth doing?
