Over at the IEET blog, a video interview: "Sonia Arrison is the author of "100 Plus: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, from Careers and Relationships to Family and Faith." In this video, Sonia discusses: how and why she got interested in technology in general and transhumanism and regenerative medicine in particular; how science and technology will allow us to live longer and healthier lives; the most common objections against increased longevity; the implications thereof on major religions; cryonics; her take on the technological singularity and our chances of surviving it; the fact that we cannot simply sit down and wait for longevity to happen." As noted, the future isn't a conveyor belt automatically bringing us better medicine and extended healthy life: every advance has to be advocated, funded, and built by someone. If too few people are working on longevity science, then rejuvenation biotechnology will not be developed in time.
