Could be true that in the year 2034 will be no diseases?

I´ve read a new that called my attention: the titles were "Health - In the year 2034 will be no diseases", "We´ll live untill 1000 years".

What a great new! We´ll find all the cures for all the diseases and we´ll know how to become our cells immortal, so we won´t die of any disease nor of aging. The only way for humankind to die is in a car accident, or other thing like that.

And i believe this is perfectly possible, only i wasn´t thinking that could happen so soon.

This new is about Aubrey de Grey, who also says that all the people that have now less than 60 years old have 50% of probability of living untill the year 3000.

Aubrey de Grey is a british scientist that has been studing the human aging for the last 20 years and he achieved these excellent conclusions.

Me, i wouldn´t mind to live 1000 years, but for now it seems a little bit impossible, isn´t it? However this scientist really believes that the first person who will celebrate his birthday number 1000 has already born.

Aubrey de Grey explains that the secret is in the application of treatments capable of avoid the changes that occur in the body over time. He says that in 25 years we´ll maintain our body so efficiently that we´ll avoid diseases, and a person with 1000 years old will appear like a young adult.

This scientist is developing his project in the USA, and he´s trying to discover how to repair all types of damage that our cells have over time. He already discover some enzymes that can avoid the degeneration of some cells of the eye, typical of aging that leads to blindness.

Before start searching the ways to combat the aging, De Grey has defined its causes: some of them are the loss of the ability of cells to renew, their mutation and the release of toxic substances at the time of their death.

Well, i hope this scientist working together with others can really discover how to stop aging. This would be the best discover of all time. Did you already imagine how would be to live 1000 years and always looking like a young adult? This would be really good.

Let´s wait to see...

great info!... but why should our lifespan limited to 1000 years? shouldn't that research breakthrough allow us to live forever?

Gorgeously, the scientist talks about 1000 years because it´s a "BIG" number, but of course we can live much more if scientists really discover how to regenarate our cells. But the scientist also says that we´ll never be immortal, because we still can die from a car accident, or a plane crash or some explosion, and other things like that. That´s why he talks about 1000 years and not about living forever.

I hope i answered your question.
