Can we stop aging? | Andrei Gudkov | TEDxMorristown


today in this country there are no

today in this country there are no people who were born in 19th century

people who were born in 19th century

people who were born in 19th century there are no such people already not

there are no such people already not

there are no such people already not only in this country but probably on the

only in this country but probably on the

only in this country but probably on the whole planet the reason for that is

whole planet the reason for that is

whole planet the reason for that is obvious they’re all gone

obvious they’re all gone

obvious they’re all gone those who died from diseases we usually

those who died from diseases we usually

those who died from diseases we usually name as prematurely died that means that

name as prematurely died that means that

name as prematurely died that means that those who died from aging a it died on

those who died from aging a it died on

those who died from aging a it died on time so this here you see the typical

time so this here you see the typical

time so this here you see the typical program of life which consists of two

program of life which consists of two

program of life which consists of two periods while we are developing and

periods while we are developing and

periods while we are developing and reaching reproductive age and then

reaching reproductive age and then

reaching reproductive age and then unavoidably starts declining in all our

unavoidably starts declining in all our

unavoidably starts declining in all our functions acquiring frailty and finally

functions acquiring frailty and finally

functions acquiring frailty and finally dying and this is the best scenario

dying and this is the best scenario

dying and this is the best scenario today so I don’t know how you but I

today so I don’t know how you but I

today so I don’t know how you but I think it’s very depressing to have this

think it’s very depressing to have this

think it’s very depressing to have this best-case scenario so the mystery of

best-case scenario so the mystery of

best-case scenario so the mystery of aging and death from aging and

aging and death from aging and

aging and death from aging and limitation of our longevity has been in

limitation of our longevity has been in

limitation of our longevity has been in people’s mind forever and fairy tales

people’s mind forever and fairy tales

people’s mind forever and fairy tales from the past are filled with recipes

from the past are filled with recipes

from the past are filled with recipes how one can rejuvenate himself so

how one can rejuvenate himself so

how one can rejuvenate himself so illustration is this famous drawing by

reached aging because they were dying

reached aging because they were dying from infectious diseases cholera plague

from infectious diseases cholera plague

from infectious diseases cholera plague smallpox syphilis so nevertheless aging

smallpox syphilis so nevertheless aging

smallpox syphilis so nevertheless aging was already recognized as a mystery well

was already recognized as a mystery well

was already recognized as a mystery well what we can do today

what we can do today

what we can do today does medicine during last hundred years

does medicine during last hundred years

does medicine during last hundred years which actually found cures to numerous

which actually found cures to numerous

which actually found cures to numerous diseases did something with aging as

diseases did something with aging as

diseases did something with aging as well well clearly at Lucas Cranach

well well clearly at Lucas Cranach

well well clearly at Lucas Cranach times aging and infectious diseases were

times aging and infectious diseases were

times aging and infectious diseases were clearly separated because plague

clearly separated because plague

clearly separated because plague attacked everybody with no difference

attacked everybody with no difference

attacked everybody with no difference whether they were children or senior

whether they were children or senior

whether they were children or senior people however after we dealt with

people however after we dealt with

people however after we dealt with infectious diseases and with antibiotics

infectious diseases and with antibiotics

infectious diseases and with antibiotics we came to the era when people start

we came to the era when people start

we came to the era when people start dying from cancer from cardiovascular

dying from cancer from cardiovascular

dying from cancer from cardiovascular disease the diseases are clearly related

disease the diseases are clearly related

disease the diseases are clearly related to age so one would expect that a

to age so one would expect that a

to age so one would expect that a hundred years ago when we still did not

hundred years ago when we still did not

hundred years ago when we still did not have antibiotics and during this path

have antibiotics and during this path

have antibiotics and during this path from birth to death we are losing lots

from birth to death we are losing lots

from birth to death we are losing lots of people we lost lots of people for

of people we lost lots of people for

of people we lost lots of people for these diseases hundred years later what

these diseases hundred years later what

these diseases hundred years later what situation would change and it does

situation would change and it does

situation would change and it does change we know that the ref huge

change we know that the ref huge

change we know that the ref huge demographic differences in our society

demographic differences in our society

demographic differences in our society versus society at that time so a lot

versus society at that time so a lot

versus society at that time so a lot more people live to very senior age and

more people live to very senior age and

more people live to very senior age and because of our success in treatment

because of our success in treatment

because of our success in treatment first infectious and now cardiovascular

first infectious and now cardiovascular

first infectious and now cardiovascular diseases and cancer so now when we

the oldest ever recorded person on this

the oldest ever recorded person on this planet was hotter than 20

planet was hotter than 20

planet was hotter than 20 two years old so which means that

two years old so which means that

two years old so which means that something mysterious is happening at

to approach this clock well you may ask

to approach this clock well you may ask the question what turns cell into

the question what turns cell into

the question what turns cell into senescence and we know today that what
