00:00Hundreds of years from now, we're going to look back and be shocked about this horrible

00:09world that we all used to live in, where people used to get old and die.

00:16We're interested not in slowing aging down, but in actually reversing it, turning back

00:21the biological clock.

00:23This is not science fiction.

00:26Even if I bring forward the defeat of aging by just one day, you know, that's a hundred

00:32thousand lives that I say, it's just astronomical.

00:40Harvard has actually been able to reverse aging in mice using telomere lengthening technology.

00:47Once we are really truly repairing things as fast as they go wrong, game over.

00:53We will have the ability to live indefinitely.

00:56Curing aging is a race.

00:58The clock ticks once, telomere's pushes it back.

01:02Ticks again, telomere's pushes it back.

01:05If Bill gets to his goal, then our marriage is forever and ever and ever.

01:10Think about that one.

01:12I can view myself as a post-it voice at his peak.

01:16There's going to be much less difference between people of different chronological ages.

01:21This is snake oil and dangerous snake oil.

01:26Dr. Andrews is simply a more recent iteration of similar personalities in the past.

01:32I'm not surprised that people don't believe us.

01:34What I really worry about is the possibility of a sudden breakthrough, the bigger question

01:39about humanity as a whole.

01:41If my mother had been healthy enough to benefit from these future therapies, then she would

01:52very much have wanted to.

01:53She had definitely not run out of things that she wanted to do in her life by any means.

01:57We are going to find something soon enough to allow my 84-year-old father to see his

02:05own aging reversed.

02:07Life is so funny.

02:08You can learn and learn and learn.

02:10And just about the time you learned what you wanted to learn, you die.

02:15It sometimes escapes the general public that scientists are actually human beings.

02:18They enjoy having a good time as well.

02:21I really don't know what does happen when a person dies.

02:24I want to go through.

02:26There's no glory in dying.
