The word really needs to be spread about ageing research, I cant think of a more important cause then tying to save peoples lives. The following video gives a general idea of what I’m talking about:

SPREAD THE WORD MY FRIENDS!
I have become a little obsessed in recent months watching and reading all I can about the life extension movement, I suggest everyone do the same it’s fascinating reading, the idea of it and the science itself too! There a lot of people saying a wind ranging amount of things, Dr Aubrey de Grey seems the most interesting character in the movement, and most vocal with his unique style. I posted a lecture he did at TED which you can find by clicking here. Also click here for the SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) homepage which gives lots of information about it, and ability to donate and get involved. Also click here to see the The Methuselah Foundation which is the other half of SENS with information and what they hope to achieve and what not. No one knows what the future holds but this research just seems so important to try. Some people say they think ‘what’s the point it probably won’t come to anything’. But that’s like saying of we probably won’t find a cure for Cancer, AIDs whatever, we don;t not pursue these things, because we want it to happen, it’s the same principal is it not? Curing cancer and AIDS is about preventing death, so exactly the same concept. I just don’t get some peoples problems with trying. The point isn’t to try and ‘live forever’ it’s about trying to have choice in how long you live rather then now which is little choice. Like I said who knows, but something this important must be worth trying!
