The document discusses various topics related to immortality and aging, including:
- Ancient desires for immortality dating back to texts like the Edwin Smith Papyrus and the Epic of Gilgamesh.
- Historical figures like Luigi Cornaro and Francis Bacon who studied longevity and the possibility of immortality.
- Modern scientific research into aging and potential interventions to extend lifespan like calorie restriction, rapamycin treatment, targeting senescent cells, telomerase activation, parabiosis, and tissue engineering.
- Prominent figures currently working on aging research and longevity escape velocities like Aubrey de Grey, David Sinclair, Ray Kurzweil, and Liz Parrish.

“The rapid progress true science now makes,
occasions my regretting sometimes that I was born
too soon. (...) all diseases may by sure means be
prevented or cured, (not excepting even that of old
age,) and our lives lengthened at pleasure, even
beyond the antediluvian standard.”
Benjamin Franklin
1706 -1790

8. O que é Envelhecimento e Morte?
Envelhecimento
Alterações biológicas, psicológicas, cognitivas e sociais que aumentam a predisposição a
situações de incapacidade funcional, multimorbidade e aumento de risco a situações de
vulnerabilidade. (Perracini et al., 2009)
Envelhecimento biológico, ou senescência, é a deterioração progressiva da quase totalidade
das funções do organismo ao longo do tempo. (Austad, 1997)
Morte
“Com a descoberta dos aparelhos de ventilação pulmonar, o conceito de morte evoluiu do
último suspiro para uma hierarquia de valores na qual certas atividades do sistema nervoso
central valem mais do que todas as outras do organismo. São atividades essenciais para
caracterizar a condição humana. Na ausência delas, admitimos extinta a vida, mesmo que os
outros órgãos continuem saudáveis.” (O MOMENTO DA MORTE. Drauzio Varella, 2011)

On January 17, 1912
Alex Carrel placed a
slice of heart muscle
from a chick embryo
in a culture medium.
The cells lived until
1946. They stopped
pulsating two years
after Carrel himself
died of a heart attack.

74. Aumentar seus telômeros
Treatment of 1- and 2-year old mice with an adeno associated virus (AAV) of wide tropism expressing
mouse TERT had remarkable beneficial effects on health and fitness, including insulin sensitivity,
osteoporosis, neuromuscular coordination and several molecular biomarkers of aging. Importantly,
telomerase-treated mice did not develop more cancer than their control littermates.

In March 2016, the same tests were taken again by SpectraCell revealed that her telomeres had lengthened by
approximately 20 years, from 6.71kb to 7.33kb. This implies that Parrish’s white blood cells (leukocytes) have become
biologically younger. These findings were independently verified by the Brussels-based non-profit HEALES (HEalthy
Life Extension Company), and the Biogerontology Research Foundation, a UK-based charity committed to combating
age-related diseases.
