[extropy-chat] PopSci profiles Aubrey de Grey

[Damien Broderick]

< Transhumanists are science (and science-fiction) enthusiasts entranced by 
the prospect that futuristic technology will allow us to modify our 
bodies-wings, anyone? infrared vision?-and also to live a really, really 
long time (if not in our own bodies, then in robotic ones governed by our 
own downloaded brains). Most any gerontologist of repute would dive under 
the desk if a transhumanist came calling, but de Grey enjoys passing 
between the worlds of the professional scientist and the amateur crank. >

Ah. Cranks again. Insightful!
