Curing aging.

That would leave the time to see all the other inventions to come. It would also cure age related diseases like Alzheimer's and Cancer.

Is Cancer age related? I thought it could happen to anyone. But much more likely to happen when your older.

Well yes, but a) the immune system gobbles up bad cells, but becomes less efficient as it ages b) point mutations accumulate with age => increases the risk of cells going haywire.

I was hard on the r/longevity train until their figurehead (Aubury) was busted for being a sex pest and half the subreddit defended them. Aging is a disease which must be treated as such, but I have zero faith in a community that is so willing to overlook their mascot being a creep, especially not when so much research is being done by other individuals who aren't carrying that baggage.

Yeah that email he sent was a bit creepy.

But that's also the only thing anyone have found against him. And he have singlehanded brought anti aging research into our history.

You should check your sources too, because it's Aubrey, not "Aubury".
