I Want To Die Young, As Late As Possible

I want to die young, as late as possible. In Iñaki Gabilondo’s program, When I’m No Longer, a group of scientists analyze the advances in science in cell rejuvenation and how it would affect the aging of the population. There is no empirical evidence that longevity has reached the limit at 120 years, which opens a door to increased survival.

Aubrey De Gray, an English biomedical gerontologist educated at the University of Cambridge, is a researcher known for his strong advocacy of the idea that an indefinite life expectancy is possible. He is sure that scientists will not only be able to stop the aging of the human body, but will also develop strategies to restore our youth.

Some voices in the scientific community are joining these precepts. There is a good chance that in the next 20 or 30 years we will be able to develop medicines that will be able to transform an old person of 60 or 70 years into a young person of 40 or even 30 years.

People who will live 130 years have already been born. Juan Carlos Izpisua, a Spanish pharmacist, points to that direction, whose publications exceed 26,000 citations and focus on stem cell biology and its development.

His studies are aimed at identifying the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for embryonic development. His contributions have enormous potential in the areas of transplantation and the fight against aging.

A team of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) has managed to develop a technique that eliminates the damage that accumulates in cells with age. The method could help stop, or even reverse, one of the main causes of aging.

The team of scientists, under the direction of biologist Nikolay Kandul, has indeed managed to find a way to eliminate genetic mutations that accumulate in mitochondria, the small organelles that are responsible for producing energy inside cells. The work was published in 2016 in Nature Communications.

Life on our planet is formed by the combination of four letters, ACGT. A human cell has about 3.2 billion letters. Minimal errors in the alphabet of a cell lead to diseases, some of them incompatible with life. All of this can be reduced with these new advances in cell regeneration.

Can we one day stop the progressive aging of the human body?

The proof that curing aging is possible is that there are already cells that do not age in nature, such as germ cells, cancer cells or some bacteria. In biology, the most famous cells are HELA, with which it was discovered, as early as 1951, that cancer is immortal, it does not age.

This new immortality will change the whole concept of society, since as with stem cells, which never age, the same can be transferred to the whole body.

But there is another crucial date, 2029, the year in which the Alan Turing test will come true. This British scientist assured that the day will come when a human being will not be able to distinguish between if he speaks with another equal or with a form of artificial intelligence.

Each technology helps to create new technology and there is an acceleration of the acceleration, which will allow that in ten or fifteen years that a human brain can connect to the internet. Technology will play a crucial role in reversing aging.

Even speaking, which is a primitive ability, in the future will be done telepathically thanks to technological advances, as if it were magic.
