You can keep reversing aging, and then you age out, and then you reverse it again, and you just keep going.

And if that's true, then it is possible that we will live dramatically longer.

I don't yet see any technology...

in the near horizon that will make us live forever.

But I do see that we'll have a radical change in how we treat diseases and how long we can live.

Well, that's difficult because you're not a total idiot.

But this is my theory, is that aging is not just wearing out.

It's not just that your body becomes old and dysfunctional and you get pain, you get inflammation and you die from a disease.

I look at the body like it's a computer.

It's software.

And we can reinstall the software.

In my lab, we believe we've found the way to do that.

And we see the evidence of that.

So the body is a carrier of information from our parents and what happened in the womb.

That information is intact, keeps our body functioning properly.

almost perfectly in our teenage years 20 you're in your early 30s you're starting to lose that information and so your body's not functioning perfectly anymore gray has you've got some gray exactly that's a good example of cells that lose their identity and stop making melanin the black pigment but it's going to get worse i promise you unless you know unless we hurry up

And this information gets lost.

It gets corrupted.

But the beautiful thing is we believe we've found a backup copy of that information from youth that we can reinstall into cells, into tissues, into the entire body of a mouse and hopefully a human.

That backup copy is in every old person, I believe, and it can be accessed.
