What can we learn from animals who live for centuries
Study of the molecular biology of such animals might lead to new therapies for cancer and ageing and diseases with associated genetic links to ageing.
A Case for Neural Augmentation
There is little reluctance to consider implants for somebody who is paralysed or has lost a limb. So what about implants in normal people?
There Is No Precision Medicine Without Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence will be the stethoscope of the 21st century and the backbone of precision medicine.
Should We Edit Human Genes? What You Need to Know
Some believe that the cautious consensus around therapeutic gene editing may be too cautious.
Embrace human genome editing
The promises are too great to throw moratoriums and roadblocks in the way of research on editing human embryos.
Could science one day cure us of old age?
One way of tackling illnesses associated with ageing is by generating cells, tissue, and organs in the laboratory with the aim of extending life.
Is brain hacking possible?
Within four years DARPA wants a nickle-size, wireless device able to record activity of 1 million neurons at once.
A Shift to Purpose and Well-Being
The potential for another clustering of great inventions exists, and a focus on purpose and well-being might just get us there.
Superintelligence and the distant future
With the arrival of superintelligent AI, achieving practical immortality for the majority of people will become feasible.
Embryo Editing to Cure Genetic Disease Has Advanced Considerably
We're talking about genetic diseases that come down to a simple gene, so a good argument can be made for CRISPR germline editing.
