I just posted this comment on the TR comment forum for the article:

Yes I do want to live forever, and don't see what is wrong with this.
As soon as science and technology will permit defeating aging and
death, which are, as Aubrey de Grey says, diseases (actually painful
and horrible diseases), we will take advantage of such new options, as
our species has done since the dawn of time.
Thank you Aubrey for issuing the ultimate challenge, Mr. Nuland
believes, to our entire concept of the meaning of humanness.
Of course Mr. Nuland does not offer any definition of this "meaning of
humanness", nor any rational argument in defense of his irrational
ideas.

and I can see that all readers who posted comments so far disagree
with the author and support Aubrey.
