Yay, I'll only be 37 years in 2025. Maybe I'll even be able to get on the Abrey DeGray train before my body looses its touch.

Nice. I'll be 43 by then. That's one of the reasons I'm investing in anti-aging related research now. We're in the early stages of a genetics revolution today. Thanks to our age and health, some of us have a greater chance of enjoying the benefits of this biotech revolution. We must hurry though, a hundred thousand people die each day of aging related diseases. The longer we take, the heavier the toll.
Kurzweil quote:
"Genetic and molecular science will extend biology and correct its obvious flaws (such as our vulnerability to disease). By the year 2020, the full effects of the genetic revolution will be felt across society. We are rapidly gaining the knowledge and the tools to drastically extend the usability of the "house" each of us calls his body and brain. Nanomedicine researcher Robert Freitas estimates that eliminating 50% of medically preventable conditions would extend human life expectancy to 150 years. If we were able to prevent 99% of naturally occurring medical problems, we'd live to be more than 1,000 years old."
