Thanks for commenting - I’d be interested to learn more about how your work as a funeral director has influenced your perspective on death. How do you feel about the work of Aubrey de Grey and his mission to end/cure aging?

Lessons on Living from those Facing Death
I have never heard of Grey but I am interested in his work. I believe that the next advancement in medicine is going to come in my lifetime and double or triple the average life expectancy.

Here’s hoping! What arena do you think this breakthrough will be within, something like gene therapy?

I found a video of Aubrey de Grey speaking at TedX that you might enjoy called “How we can finally win the fight against aging” -
I might write a whole post on this topic actually, you’ve inspired me!

This was worth all 18 minutes of it! I thought it was going to be another one of those telomere talks which I think "popsci" puts too much emphasis on. I would be interested in a post on aging. I think two things that would be interesting to study in regards to aging are hormone changes and gut bacteria. I am not saying there is a difference in gut bacteria or even that it has any implications on the aging process but it would be interesting to study.

Glad you enjoyed it - there’s a documentary featuring him called The Immortalists that I really enjoyed too :)
