I was reading this on slashdot today and thought you folks would find this interesting. Probably not us, but maybe our grandchildren could live to over 5000 years old. They would be physiological age of ten though, to be 'stunted' age the age of 16 you could live to a healthy 872. There is still hope for us though, if they get this working by the time we are 70, we could tack another 92 years onto that.
This is a serious effort, I hope it gets more backing.
