"In a recent article highlighting his book, Longevity Guidebook: How to Slow, Stop and Reverse Aging - and NOT Die From Something Stupid, tech genius Peter Diamandis predicts that the slowing of the aging process will be available by 2035. In his book, Diamandis writes... "[C]onverging exponential technologies such as AI, genomics, and other 'omics technologies,' CRISPR, gene therapy, cellular medicine and invasive and non-invasive sensors allow us to understand why we age and how to slow, stop, and perhaps even reverse aging.""
"Wow! Just think of the implications of not even reversing aging, but just extending the lifespan by double its current length. So, even via the more modest predictions, people will be able to double their longevity. When you reach 100 years old, you will be entering your "fifties" as you currently experience them. The average mortality will increase to about 150 years. All within your lifetime."
Converging exponential technologies—AI, genomics and other 'omics, CRISPR, gene therapy, cellular medicine, and advanced sensors—could enable understanding of why humans age and how to slow, stop, or reverse aging, potentially within the next decade-plus. Slowing aging could double typical human longevity, shifting life stages so that reaching 100 may resemble current fifties and raising average mortality toward about 150 years. Dramatic lifespan extension would reshape labor markets, retirement and social-security systems, family planning and reproductive genetics, personal meaning and purpose, and could prompt reexamination of religious beliefs and societal institutions.
