What if we could slow down the aging process, halt it entirely, or even reverse it - What would this mean for our society?

Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs that Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime is a 2007 book written by Aubrey de Grey, a biomedical gerontologist, with his research assistant Michael Rae. Ending Aging describes de Grey’s proposal for eliminating aging as a cause of debilitation and death in humans, and restoring the body to an indefinitely youthful state, a project plan that he calls the “Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence”. De Grey argues that defeating aging is feasible, possibly within a few decades, and he outlines steps that can be taken to hasten the development of regenerative medicine treatments that will save lives. Life extension, also called biomedical gerontology, is the science dedicated to understanding the processes of aging and to developing ways of slowing them down or reversing them. The goals of life extension include increasing both average and maximum lifespan, especially of humans. Existing methods are nutritionally and pharmaceutically based, while research is conducted across a wide spectrum of strategies, from nutrition to genetic engineering to cryonics.
