Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it”- Ray Kurzweil Too much time….. Why this person is important:Computer scientist, inventor, and futurist (one of the greatest of the modern era) What is Longevity-              Dictionary – long existence or service-              Medicine and Science – long duration of individual life What is Geroscience: -              Gero (Greek - old)-              A field of biomedical research that focusses on understanding the biology of aging and how aging contributes to disease-              Geroscience, geroscientist, geroprotective, gerontocracy, gerontophobia Why Longevity- Longer Life? People want to live longer and better? More time young. Not more time old.- live forever? Scares many. Plasticity of youth would be so important in this case- look good and do the things we love for longer? Yes! I believe: Longevity and understanding/controlling aging are key to human advancement and long-term success. See FullScope.org blog for complete post
