Abstract

According to Stephen Wolfram and Raymond Kurzweil, extreme longevity will inevitably be achieved sooner or later, with significant probabilities that it will happen within this century. Some of these technologies are already in the experimental phase, others are in the embryonic stage, while others have been conceived only theoretically but are still achievable and futuristic. They promise to radically intervene in the aging process in order to free humans from the adverse conditions of its effects and to autonomously decide the duration of their own existence
