Why We Might Stop Aging by 2040: Dr. Aubrey de Grey’s Bold Prediction

from The XRP Podcast with Paul Barron · host Paul Barron Network

In this episode, Paul Barron sits down with Dr. Aubrey de Grey, President and Chief Science Officer of the LEV (Longevity Escape Velocity) Foundation. They explore the radical shift from merely slowing down aging to the engineering-based approach of rejuvenation—repairing the body like a machine. The conversation dives into how the AI revolution is accelerating drug discovery through platforms like AlphaFold, the significance of the Robust Mouse Rejuvenation (RMR) study, and why Dr. de Grey believes we have a 50-50 chance of bringing aging under medical control within the next 12 to 15 years.
