Don't look now, but Dr. Daniel Laury is getting younger by the hour. The Medford gynecologist and primary care physician for women says he's actually de-aging. That's based on a review of critical health markers that he says show "chronologically, if I go back a year on my numbers, I'm younger than a year ...

Scientists from around the world are racing to answer one of humanity's chief questions: can we turn back the human clock?  Hitch a ride on this controversial roller-coaster with charismatic gerontologist Michael Rose as he leads us to where the cutting-edge science in life extension is happening: biotechnology, genetic research, therapeutic ...

Hm, there are of course a number of other things each of us could do to fight and eventually hopefully end aging. One thing that comes to mind is: Donate to the Methulselah Foundation Betterhumans members can do this as part of the Betterhumans The 300 group donation to support SENS research.

Pragmatica, That is great to hear that your grandmother on your father's side made it to 102. She must have done something right. Good for her.

I guess the issue is really the quality of life that one has, when they ...

I certainly want to. My grandmother on my dad's side is already 102; the LEAST I can do is live to be 100. :) My mother is turning 65 this year and made the comment her mind hasn't aged one bit and it's the body that's the problem (although she's in much better shape than many).  People's minds shouldn't be ...
