00:00Hundreds of years from now, we're going to look back and be shocked about this horrible

00:09world that we all used to live in, where people used to get old and die.

00:16We're interested not in slowing aging down, but in actually reversing it, turning back

00:21the biological clock.

00:24This is not science fiction.

00:29Even if I bring forward the defeat of aging by just one day, you know, that's a hundred

00:33thousand lives that I've saved.

00:36It's just astronomical.

00:41Harvard has actually been able to reverse aging in mice using telomere lengthening technology.

00:49Once we are really, truly repairing things as fast as they go wrong, game over.

00:55We will have the ability to live indefinitely.

00:59Slowing aging is a race.

01:00The clock ticks once, telomerase pushes it back.

01:05Ticks again, telomerase pushes it back.

01:07If Bill gets to his goal, then our marriage is forever and ever and ever.

01:13Think about that one.

01:15I can view myself as a poster boy, so to speak, for a future lifestyle.

01:21There's going to be much less difference between people of different chronological ages.

01:27This is snake oil, and dangerous snake oil.

01:31Dr. Andrews is simply a more recent iteration of similar personalities in the past.

01:37I'm not surprised that people don't believe us.

01:40What I really worry about is the possibility of a sudden breakthrough.

01:44The bigger question about humanity as a whole.

01:47If my mother had been healthy enough to benefit from these future therapies, then she would

01:53very much have wanted to.

01:54She had definitely not run out of things that she wanted to do in her life by any means.

02:01We are going to find something soon enough to allow my 84-year-old father to see his

02:07own aging reversed.

02:09Life is so funny.

02:10You can learn and learn and learn, and just about the time you learned what you wanted

02:15to learn, you die.

02:17It sometimes escapes the general public that scientists are actually human beings who enjoy

02:21having a good time as well.

02:23I really don't know what does happen when a person dies.

02:26I want to love.

02:28There's no glory in dying.
