A British scientist claims Humans will soon start living for 1000years, says ageing body can be repaired like a car.

A BRITISH doctor insists a breakthrough is near which can tackle the effects of ageing and allow humans to live until they are 1,000 years-old.
‎

Doctor Aubrey de Grey likens the human body to a car and is developing a new form of medicine based on regenerative therapies.
‎

He is the co-founder of Strategies for California based Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) Research Foundation says they have identified seven specific reasons we age, which can all be targeted.
‎

He said:

"We are developing a new kind of medicine: regenerative therapies that remove, repair, replace, or render harmless the cellular and molecular damage that has accumulated in our tissues with time"

"People have this crazy concept that ageing is natural and inevitable, and I have to keep explaining that it is not.

"The human body is a machine with moving parts and like a car or an aeroplane, it accumulates damage throughout life as a consequence of normal operation."
‎

Leading figures at tech companies Google and Paypal have given Dr de Grey's research team financial backing.

The Cambridge graduate hopes humans will eventually be to live until past 1,000 years-old, with it even applicable eventually to people who are already alive today.

Yet not everybody is convinced by his claims, with another leading doctor pouring scorn on the suggestions.
‎

Dr Tilo Kunath, of the Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh rejected the claims, telling The Express:

"No one in the future could be genetically modified for a human to live longer than say 120 years. You couldn't even do it through diet or medicine, no not within the next 100 years."‎

South Korea becomes first East Asian Country to Legalize Medical Marijuana

South Korea has become the first east Asian country to legalise medical cannabis in a surprising move to expand the treatment options for patients with epilepsy and other rare diseases in the conservative country.
