Scholar on aging argues people can now live to 1,000

Tayelor — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:08:50 +0000

This article was written on October 4, 2012, by Angela Wang, a contributing writer for The Daily Princetonian. The article is posted at: http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2012/10/04/31380/

Some people alive today will live to be at least 1,000 years old, according to Aubrey de Grey, a leading scholar in the study of anti-aging methods. In a lecture Wednesday, de Grey presented research-based support and an ethics-based argument for a near future in which aging no longer exists and people live forever.

The seminar, called “The Science and Ethics of Eliminating Aging,” was sponsored by the University’s Center for Human Values and chaired by bioethics professor Peter Singer. De Grey presented his research on anti-aging therapy, promoted his vision for a world in which humans do not experience the negative effects of aging and evaluated the benefits of and objections to this future society.

De Grey is currently the chief science officer of the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence Foundation, a non-profit devoted to anti-aging research that he founded, and editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal Rejuvenation Research.

In an interview before the seminar, de Grey said he hoped to use the lecture “to educate people that the defeat of aging is both feasible and desirable.”

De Grey began his presentation by defining aging. He said his foundation does research on ways to limit damages done to the human body by natural metabolic processes and that he hopes the research will allow them to identify a physical state in which one could perpetually “look and feel and function like a young adult.”

There are seven specific types of damage aging does to the body, de Grey noted. Although solutions to these have not been reached, he described a scientific breakthrough his group achieved several months ago; a study they had performed showed increased viability of cells in a culture, which he said could have implications for stopping the damage that causes cardiovascular disease.

De Grey then described the feasibility and societal benefits of successful development of anti-aging technology. He said his research suggests a “50-50 chance of developing these therapies within the next 25 years to a level of sophistication that will confer … robust human rejuvenation.”

On a slide comparing two pictures, de Grey simply summarized his views on the positives and negatives of anti-aging: one of young people at play labeled “Fun” and another of a sickly senior citizen labeled “Not Fun.” Therefore, he argued that everyone — from biologists to journalists to ordinary citizens practicing advocacy — should work to achieve successful anti-aging solutions.

Finally, de Grey suggested that a society in which people live indefinite life spans would have a higher quality of life. He noted that critics argue that indefinite life spans would lead to overpopulation and that living forever might not be desirable. However, those are not reasons to halt research into anti-aging solutions and those are ethical questions best decided by future generations, he said.

“Even if we did have a problem [arising from anti-aging development] and humanity had a choice to make … that’s a choice humanity of the future is entitled to make for itself rather than having that choice imposed on it by our not choosing to develop these therapies,” de Grey said.

After de Grey spoke, visiting deputy director of the Institute for Science & Ethics at Oxford and former University professor Bennett Foddy responded by asking whether people should be allowed to live on after getting to a certain age in good health. He pointed out that the world has a set carrying capacity and suggested that society may need different ethical standards for people who choose to undergo anti-aging treatment.

The lecture was held at Friend Center as part of a series called the “Ira W. Decamp Bioethics Seminars.”

Anti-aging pill being developed

LONDON, Sept. 29 (UPI) — A British doctor says anti-aging drugs that can lower the risk of diseases such as cancer and dementia, as well as wrinkles, will soon be available.

Linda Partridge, a geneticist at University College London, told The Daily Telegraph drugs tackle the cause of those diseases — age itself.

“One obvious approach in trying to deal with the very rapidly increasing incidence of age-related diseases is to tackle the underlying aging process itself, because it is the major risk factor,” Partridge said.

Because the treatments tackle aging of the body itself, they could also preserve other traits, such as muscle strength, hearing and the condition of the skin, Partridge said.

However, living forever is not the goal of the drug, Partridge said.

“We are not talking about immortality, we are trying to get rid of that period of ill health that people get toward the end of their lives, to hold off age-related disease for longer,” she said. “I think it will come in gradually, I hope in my lifetime.”

A black and white issue

Less than four per cent of images in dermatology databases involve patients with darker skin.

CONCERNS: Less than four per cent of images in dermatology databases involve patients with darker skin

THE CREATION of a groundbreaking database to help diagnose skin conditions on darker skinned is being pioneered by staff at the University of Birmingham.

An alarming number of diseases in dark skin people are being missed or misdiagnosed simply because image banks used by doctors and dermatologists across the UK are predominantly made up of images of white skins.

Dr June Jones, a senior lecturer in biomedical ethics at the university, has joined forces with the Channel 4 health awareness show Embarrassing Bodies to encourage more people from ethnic backgrounds to upload images of skin conditions on to the programme’s website.

According to Dr Jones, less than four per cent of images in dermatology databases used by medics currently involve patients with darker skin – and this could prove fatal if serious conditions are missed.

PASSIONATE

“I am passionate about equal health care for everyone but at the moment we are not equipped to offer this as image banks are not truly diverse, so many people are at a disadvantage” Dr Jones, who is also college lead in religious and cultural diversity explained.

“For example a condition like ringworm can look completely different on white skin, as the skin reddens, making the condition clearly visible.”

“Doctors and medical students have little opportunity to learn about how skin conditions in people with darker skin tones, which means there can be a delay or a mistake in diagnosis.”

She attributed financial constraint as the primary factor. “There is no overt racist factor in all this. I think it’s a result of financial cuts over the years, for example hospitals losing medical photographers who were able to record vital medical conditions. Since the West Midlands has one of the most ethnically diverse populations it’s really important that we lead the way here and train our doctors to provide equitable health care for all,” she added.

Interestingly, three volunteers with varying degrees of skin colour were ‘made up’ by the university’s medical effects artist Julia Hyland, of the History of Medical Unit to present with examples of ringworm, a meningitis rash and melanoma, a skin cancer.

All the trainee medics spotted conditions on the white skinned volunteer quickly and easily, but had trouble diagnosing those on dark skin. An example of ringworm was dismissed as ‘dry skin’ while most of the students completely missed a cancerous mole on the volunteer’s ear.

AWARENESS

This was all filmed for Embarrassing Bodies, a TV series which aims to raise health awareness and de-stigmatise embarrassing medical conditions.
Dr Jones added: “Thankfully skin cancers are less common on darker skins, but sadly the outcome can be far more serious if it is simply not spotted early enough. Missing or misdiagnosing conditions is potentially fatal.”

She said she was keen to connect with community groups in the West Midlands to spread the word about the importance of the public contributing to the database and welcomed the chance to talk to groups.

Full instructions on how to upload an image are given on the Embarrassing Bodies website and are checked by a consultant dermatologist.

Ideally, people who submit examples should have had the condition already diagnosed by their doctor.

Any group wishing to talk with Dr Jones can contact her by email: j.jones.1@bham. ac.uk
