    • Do You Want To Live Forever?

      What if you could live forever? Your family, your friends, perhaps even your pets, could go on living for eternity? What if we lived in a world where death did not exist? There no horrible diseases like cancer, in which we lose so many to every year. If given the opportunity, would you even want to live forever?

      Until recently, the thought of becoming immortal existed only in science fiction movies, books, and stories. However, that could all change and become a reality. In this Channel 4 documentary you will meet Dr. Aubrey de Grey, an eccentric scientist who believes an eternal life is possible.

      Do You Want To Live Forever? examines this Cambridge biomedical gerontologists’  theories that within the next 20-30 years the chance of extending life indefinitely is a great possibility. But, how? No, it doesn’t involve being bit by a vampire, instead he believes addressing seven major factors of the aging process will keep us alive.

      The seven factors are called Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS). The idea describes “seven deadly things”  that wear away at our body’s youthfulness at the cellular level. It is this, in which he feels eventually leads us to our deaths. So, ask yourself, Do You Want to Live Forever?

    • Joe

      Interesting. Like the narrator said at the end, "We just have to wait and see."

    • Phil Bender ( prational )

      Excellent documentary! I wish the US networks would make documentaries like this.

      Thanks

      a world without death and aging in humans would consume the earth. our populations would be ever-growing

      In my opinion this makes perfect sense,
      if we compare a man in medieval times to today we can note a increase in life expectance. So it is only logical to assume that by knowing more about ourselves and our enviroment we are better able to prolong a single life.

      do u really want to live forever? not why, but how? what can u sacrifice for this to happend, your hand, body? can u accept living forever inside a computer chip ? can u accept upgrading your body with mechanical parts in order to extend your life? have u been close to dewath?? if yes wasit scarry? do u believe in after life? do u think that a man can live forever after his death? do u think hitler or michelangelo defeted death? can your childrens make you live forever? if someone see u a photography after 1000 years makes u kinda a immortal?

      i bet most of u imagine immortality as a form of maintaining your biological body and remain forever young and healthy
      i also bet that most of u don't want to live forever as a old paralyzed man that can only move his eyes, only his mind intact…
      i sincerely prefer live 1 year where i can call myself fulfilled than 1000 years in pain

      To live as much as we want? that sounds nice but seems so far away

    • Jen

      This stuff got way too weird after "Tatiana" was introduced. What does virtual technology and transgendered scientists have to do with this? NEXT.

    • Kitty

      The most beautiful love story similar to The Fountain. However, this is the story of a real visionary who in fact is much like you an I. He is not a professor, he is not a doctor. In fact, he was a computer technician all along.

    • Kitty

      What doesn't transgenderism have to do with science? Even if Tatiana's gender identity is unrelated to immortality, who cares? Should she be left out for the fact that idiots like you find it too distracting? Also, I can not believe that you asked what virtual technology has to do with science! I hope you can answer that yourself. The man, or perhaps woman with the avatar was a futurist, therefor quite relevant.

      Aubrey is not only aspiring to find a cure death from aging, he's aspiring for a cure for physical aging as well. Replacing components of your body will not only make you live longer, it will also keep you physically fresh.

    • Black Zer0

      Don't be foolish, guys … You can't stop entropy not even with technology. You need 4 types of bio-cells to re-create your living tissue, or even more types of bio-cells that have different functions like : dividing the first cell, keeping it alive with nutriments, protecting it…etc. In other words humans must be 4x or more times fatter, smarter and etc to be powerful enough to sustain all those programmed bio-cells.

      Conclusion : it's total nonsense trying to even understand what you want about non-aging

    • …

      This is a joke right? These people are nuts.

    • Bendik

      Good documentary. The sound isn't synched tho', and it's quite annoying ^^

    • Piltonbadger

      Which cells are these that are required? I was of the understanding that cell mitosis is perfectly easy as long as the cell's DNA gives a trigger to do it in the first place. Yes; nutrients are required, but the body has multiple channels in which to bring these. Otherwise all cells would die immediately. I'm not sure what you mean by human beings needing to be 4 times fatter?

      Cell entropy of the variety he is talking about occurs in cells which are not pre-programmed to engage in mitosis. There is a clear argument in this case for introducing stem cells into the picture which are able to take on the form of any cell in the body. This is just as feasible as altering the DNA within cells to achieve cell replication.

      I may be missing something quite obvious here, but I don't think you've constructed a coherent enough argument to be calling people "foolish". Your statement certainly does nothing to convince me not to believe a celebrated biologist.

    • Black Zer0

      Well, that's only theoretical way of saying we can live forever. Practically these experiments gave no final results. Human body is getting old even by oxidation of its own cells even in time, even the stem cells oxidate themselves only with human's breathing of air :))

      There is no possible way to stop the real entropy which is oxidation of the body and cells, itself :>

    • Tipsy

      Excellent doc. I liked the outlook of all those famous people and their views of living forever.
      I'm not sure it would work, though. It seems good in theory, but so did cloning, and we all remember how Dolly turned out.
      I can't get out of my head the image of trying to replace parts of a meatloaf, bit by bit in order to keep it from going bad…

    • Tyler Durden

      I'm no sciencetist, but an idea when I was a child, like age 10, I thought, live forever…hmm…
      platelets… repair broken skin…

      Well I'm guessing everything has repair mechanisms as we're growing from baby-young adult, and those are produced less and less as we age…

      Why not just take a sample when we're young, duplicate and grow our own platelets and such, and put back in as we age, and no, oh noes your foreign f-off!

      Just a 10 year olds thought

      Btw, puberty, and growth hormone… am I crazy or wouldn't growth hormone be the catalyst for repair? Just would have to turn off the growth part.

      The brain can only store so much info, so by living forever, you would eventually forget who you were originally. As you learn new information, old information would be lost. So eventually you would no longer be the same person you were say 100 years ago. Alternatively living forever might drive you insane, as you get bored with everything. This is why I don't believe in an after life: it's sheer insanity to live forever in heaven or wherever. Better to cease to exist completely when you die, and hence be the same as you were before you were born…nothing. Perhaps re-incarnation would be good if you have no memory of prior lives…you never get bored, but in a way live forever.

    • Tacio

      To beyondthebeyond …

      You are un-creative… how would you forget? unless you have alzheimers… We all have long-term memory… we all have brains… We also have photographs and videos to supplement our memories…

      maybe its only you who will become insane with boredom… Somethings is off in your attitude. Look at the world around you. There is much to explore and discover and many experiences to attain. Maybe you are stuck in one place. Maybe your life is boring. Im sorry for you. I have experienced a lot in life and I still cant get enough. Maybe you need to drastically change your life dude. Otherwise its such a waste. Life is short, so make the most of it.
