Life expectancy, medical progress, birthday wishes

A wry birthday wish for Ray Kurzweil. I gave this talk at Research Club about the prospects for living forever, which aren't very good.

Many thanks to Research Club and videographer Dustin Zemmel.

To conquer death, it is not necessary to find the genetic mechanisms for diseases. The main task is finding the genetic mechanism for aging. If that knowledge is obtained and then used to stop aging, that'll eliminate over half of all deaths.
