Dr Aubrey de Grey, British scientist who has dedicated his life to the quest for eternal youth claims the human body can be repaired - just like a car
A British
scientist has claimed that the secret to preventing ageing may be solved
in the near future and that some people born already may live for up to
a 1,000 years.
The
staggering claims were made by Dr Aubrey de Grey, a Harrow and
Cambridge-educated biomedical theorist who has made a name for himself
for his research into preventing ageing.
Dr
de Grey, the co-founder and chief science officer of Strategies for
Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) Research Foundation, based in
California, says he is developing a new form of medicine based on
regenerative therapies.
Dr Aubrey
de Grey described the human body as being like a is a 'machine with
moving parts' and that damage accumulated during its lifetime was part
of life.
However
Dr de Grey's research team are working on a new type of regenerative
therapies. It has been well backed financially with support from leading
figures at Google and Paypal.
'By
reconstructing the structured order of the living machinery of our
tissues, these rejuvenation biotechnologies will restore the normal
functioning of the body's cells and essential biomolecules, returning
aging tissues to health and bringing back the body's youthful vigor,'
the SENS Research Foundation claims.
However
the research centres have been criticised by Dr Tilo Kunath, of the
Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, has
dismissed his theories as incorrect.
