My opinion on the topic changed significantly after watching these great videos: - Why Age? Should We End Aging Forever? - Kurzgesagt - link - How to Cure Aging – Kurzgesagt - ▶ this video - Why Die? - CGP Grey - link
Seems like many people are new to this concept and feel skeptical so here are some useful resources: * Kurzgesagt: How to Cure Aging – During Your Lifetime? (7:20) ▶ this video * Kurzgesagt: Why Age? Should We End Aging Forever? (6:48) link * Why we should cure ageing (11:30) - Heads up, it's a book intro link * Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old (Book, not yet released in the US) link * Lifespan: Why we age and why we don't have to (book) link * Google talk: Why We Age and Why We Don't Have To (55:13) - By the author of the book link Edit: * If you wish to contribute to this kind of research make sure to check out SENS: link
Yes this is a great introduction into the topic. I would also recommend checking out www.leafscience.org home of the LEAF foundation. They are the guys who did that great video with Kurzgesagt last year and their website is packed with great info about aging and research. ▶ this video
