Harvard researcher and biotech founder Dr. David Sinclair theorizes in his New York Times best-selling book “Lifespan” that aging doesn’t have to be inevitable.Dr. David Sinclair:"It's changing every day. In fact, every year you stay alive, you get another three months of life. Because technology is advancing, and it's been going up across the world in advanced nations continuously over the last 200 years. And there's no sign that it's slowing down.
"But most of us can forget about it because it's traumatic. We don't think about death every day. It's quite depressing, but I couldn't forget about it. It stayed with me because largely I felt like it was unfair. Why would there be a conscious species that knew it was going to die. That just doesn't seem right to me. And I knew that people were working on diseases, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's. This is what I always wanted to do.
"Some live thousands. So there is no law of biology that says we must age. There isn't anyone who says we have to grow old. Doesn't know what they're talking about. There are ways of preserving the body.
