In declarations to Efe, Of Congregation it has defended that the scientific advances that they will make cellular and molecular repairs possible, as well as the improvement of the technological advances, will end the oldness, although today these predictions can sound to science-fiction, since it happened years ago with facts that today are a reality assumed like something normal. Appointment like example the transplants, that fifty years ago were unthinkable and today they are a therapy that has advanced so much that even already has been made without needing immunosuppression, a landmark that considers a great first step than it denominates "engineering of the organs”. According to this biologist and publisher of the scientific magazine Rejuvenation Research, to be immortal technologies are needed that nowadays we do not have, and "to be healthful”, which is obtained avoiding the overweight, the tobacco and the hypertension, with a diet it heals and having luck from the genetic point of view. It assures that although scientist and technologically now is not possible this eternal youth, "is a tangible reality”, within reach, and what does lack "is that people know that this is possible it demands so that it”, and so that this desire is what causes that becomes in fact in the future not very distant. According to their theories, with bioengineering strategies to avoid the senectud the women will be able to procreate until the fifty or seventy years, which will suppose the disappearance of the natural selection of the species that until now has guaranteed the evolution and that it has already begun to change with the treatments of "test-tube” fecundity, that viable embryos do that the nature rejects. He is sure that in years "there will be limit of no time for the human species”, although clarifies that this does not mean that is going to disappear the death. She emphasizes that the death concept will persist, although will not have a biological origin, and that the deaths will have to external causes, like accidents. Aubrey de Grey considers that the resources are not any problem to develop systems of weave repair, because or great amounts of money in treating diseases associated to the cardiovascular oldness like Alzheimer, diabetes or problems are reversed. In this sense, it has remembered that in the last year of life a person spends more than in almost all the life, and that although this situation is the one that at heart sustains the pharmaceutical industry, this one also can have great benefits elaborating substances antiaging. Also it denies that this eternal rich youth can get to be a privilege of or developed countries, and remembers how one hundred years ago no country had systems public of prevention of health, and how they have changed the things since then. What yes it thinks that is necessary it is that in continents like Africa, with a perspective of smaller life, the population has desires to enjoy better health and to change habits of life by more healthful others. It insists on that the vital calendar that today we have will be able to change and that the people will journey of the childhood, to the adolescence and youth, remaining in a permanent state of maturity, corresponding to present the 30 or 40 years. "Around 2010 the world will be at a new orbit in history. . . Life expectancy will be indefinite. Disease and disability will nonexist. Death wll be rare and accidental -- but not permanent. We will continuously jettison our obsolescence and grow younger." F.M. Esfandiary, "Up-Wing Priorities" (1981).
