Gandhi once said, describing his critics, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." After declaring, essentially out of nowhere, that he had a program to

At the recent World Science Festival in New York City, Ray Kurzweil
outlined why he is certain that the future isn’t as dreary as it’s been

Scientists at the University of Washington and other institutions have
identified 25 genes regulating lifespan in two organisms separated by
about 1.5 billion years in evolutionary change. At least 15 of those
genes have very similar versions in humans, suggesting that scientists
may be able to target those genes to help slow down the aging process
and treat age-related conditions. The study will be published online by
the journal Genome Research on March 13.
