Does anyone believe De Grey's theory which he mentions that the first 1000 year-old person is already 60 now?
Plz discuss + evidence

We can't know this before anybody did "pour the money". I side with Maestro's here. It's a simple decision matrix. Worryingly reminiscent of Pascal's wager. The moment I start becoming convinced that this will happen, I'm off to the beach...just depends on how much money and effort is poured into research.

Well I of course am fully with you on that. The only descent might come from people worried about shifting resources to aging research and away from other areas. Of course I (and probably just about everyone here) would say it would be a good tradeoff, but there are still lots of people out there that need some convincing, unfortunately.The mere possibility that it might be feasible within our lifetime makes it worth pursuing IMO. What's the worst that can happen?

How about if someone is 18? Would they have a chance to be a 1000?

There are most certainly a few 60 year-olds living today that will live past 110 without any medical invervention what-so-ever. Even if you assume only minor (less than linear) progress in medical technology and aging theory over the next 50 years, those 60 year-olds have a good shot at adding another 10 years to their life. Ruling out a global catastrophe, who among us thinks we will be no closer to curing aging by 2067 than we are today? Not many I suppose.
