Do you want to live forever?

Moving into the 21st century, the rise of hybrid brain-machine interfaces and other biotechnological breakthroughs are beginning to challenge our notions of personhood. Philosophical arguments often appeal with brain in a vat arguments, but Aubry de Gray wants to actualize some of these ideas. He works on what he calls "strategies for engineered negligible senescence." He thinks a fundamental human right is to live indefinitely insofar as we have the technology to do so. Thus, de Gray is challenging the scientific community to achieve this end. Here is a documentary chronicling the emerging figure and some controversey surrounding him. (Props to whomever decided to use Mahler's "Resurrection" in the film).
