Advancing Conversations is a line of interview books documenting
conversations with artists, authors, philosophers, economists,
scientists, and activists whose works are aimed at the future and
at progress. The biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey, as the world's
pre-eminent longevity advocate, is nothing if not future oriented.
De Grey is the founder of the SENS Research Foundation, an
organization developing medical interventions to repair the damage
the body does to itself over time. Stated more directly, Aubrey de
Grey and his organization aim to defeat aging. In 2005 a panel of
scientists and doctors from MIT, Brigham and Women's Hospital in
Boston, Microsoft, and the Venter Institute participated in a
contest to judge whether de Grey's "Strategies for Engineered
Negligible Senescence" were worthy of debate and verification or
whether these ideas were wrong on their face. The panel found that
de Grey's proposals for intervening in the aging process, while
speculative, often "ran parallel to existing research" and were not
"demonstrably wrong."
