Dr. Aubrey de Grey is perhaps the most bullish of all such researchers. As has been reported in media outlets ranging from \u003ci\u003e60 Minutes\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times, \u003c\/i\u003e Dr. de Grey believes that the key biomedical technology required to eliminate aging-derived debilitation and death entirely--technology that would not only slow but periodically \u003ci\u003ereverse\u003c\/i\u003e age-related physiological decay, leaving us biologically young into an indefinite future--is now within reach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEnding Aging, \u003c\/i\u003e Dr. de Grey and his research assistant Michael Rae describe the details of this biotechnology. They explain that the aging of the human body, just like the aging of man-made machines, results from an accumulation of various types of damage. As with man-made machines, this damage can periodically be repaired, leading to indefinite extension of the machine's fully functional lifetime, just as is routinely done with classic cars. We already know what types of damage accumulate in the human body, and we are moving rapidly toward the comprehensive development of technologies to remove that -damage. By demystifying aging and its postponement for the nonspecialist reader, de Grey and Rae systematically dismantle the fatalist presumption that aging will forever defeat the efforts of medical science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aubrey de Grey, Michael Rae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312367074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312367077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.30w x 1.17d","brand":"Aubrey de Grey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048480239871,"sku":"9780312367077","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_519ae4d9-d6cd-4cd5-9c9a-394886dcfa3b.jpg?v=1684996008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ending-aging-aubrey-de-grey-9780312367077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
