Aubrey de Grey

Aubrey de Grey is a transhumanist and cryonicist who posits that the first person to live to 1,000 is likely already alive and that someone born around the year 2000 has anywhere from a 50 to 80 percent of living much longer than the current lifespan, depending on how much funding SENS and related life extension programs receive soon.[1]

Criticisms[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Transhumanism § Radical life extension

PZ Myers believes immortality is impossible because the second law of thermodynamics leads to inevitable decay in any living system.[2]

Allegations of sexual harassment[edit]

In 2021, de Grey was placed on administrative leave by SENS Research Foundation over sexual harassment allegations.[3] Shortly after, he was removed from his position as he seemed to interfere with the sexual harassment investigation.[4]
