Humans age in seven basic ways, he says, all of which can be averted.TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

@Jogeta5 Hope you fucking die, you liberal fucks just keep coming up with excuses to protect humanity. Fuck Humanity.
He speaks like he has a rag on his face.
@agent12803
It’s not immortal, it’s unaging or at least not dying from aging.
There are a few species out there that and one of them can, at the end of a life cycle revert back to the young stage and start again. Essentially could be unaging.
@nathernrock
Then that would include you wuoldn’t it.
If you can see the positive things in life, then you’ve got a journey ahead of you.
The reason we havent evolved to be immortal is because the death and reproduction cycle constantly refreshes the gene pool so that adaption to the enviroment is easier for the speice
Human beings are a cancer, a virus if you will, you shits don’t deserve life.
btw all that shit with getting more money the longer you work for someone is CRAZY even in the day and age now that should not happen.
Very interesting. Also couldnt stop watching Aubrey “dancing” as he gave the lecture he he!
@DamionCrane In 1990, anything close to a iphone would have cost as much as a private jet. Now, it’s a few hundred bucks. That’s technological progress.
@nathernrock
Start with yourself you lunatic.
@DracoAquarian1
Then you can go off and die of old age. That’s your choice.
I want to kill off 90% of the global population, Fuck humanity Fuck Liberals
@ThePlatoon4 well there are bacteria and jellyfish that are immortal believe it or not, and who is to say we wont solve this problem in the future like we did to so many other problems??
@Omnipherant i’m a complete stranger, I could be an alien for all you know, don’t assume too much, and come on, since when in history has a single life never stop ending, ever?
@ThePlatoon4 and you know this how? have you been to the future? no you haven’t and your and idiot
@Rafedile one way or another, life will end. all we do is delay it.
@ThePlatoon4
Does that mean we weren’t meant to defeat cancer? Fail logic is fail. Our bodies WANT us to live forever. That is why we have repair mechanisms. The environment, however; eventually wins out over our body which is why we die.
@ThePlatoon4
Huh? What do you mean it is not a genetic code. That is EXACTLY what cell biology is based upon.
@daveypassey
Progress is difficult when much of the world is against him. Research is all about funding.
@nathernrock
What is this “natural order.”? People seem to use this term to defend their claim when it holds absolutely no basis. Technically, over the course of history, evolution has pushed for the extension of life through more advanced repair mechanisms…So basically we would be doing that very same thing but much faster. Please, don’t speak out of your ass because it does nobody any good.
@unicice you are a clueless fuck. Regulating births won’t lower the population down to 500 million by 2050 which is the goal. Some people will need to be killed off. We should start with the mentally and physically disabled.
@nathernrock Are you willing to die to see that goal achieved? Or do you feel like you should be one of the 500 million left? I used to think like you when I was an angsty 15 year old but then I grew up. Your ideas are retarded. It’s much more practical and less selfish to regulate birth rates. But all in all nothing will work except colonizing another planet. And god knows when that will happen..
