Aubrey de Grey, a biomedical gerontologist from Cambridge University, goes much further. He believes the first person to live to 1,000 has already been born and told the meeting that periodic repairs to the body using stem cells, gene therapy and other techniques could eventually stop the aging process entirely.

Would you agree with this?
I am unsure personally, I can see how technology is advancing at an extremely rapid rate, but I believe that such a prediction cannot be made when we take into account other factors such as the threat of global warming and nuclear war. We could destroy ourselves before we reach such advancements. It's definitely interesting to speculate upon though.
The following documentary is kinda relevant to this also:

Perhaps you and I are indeed going to be among the first to live beyond 1000 years?
