aging is a medical condition and what

0:02

I'm going to tell you today is that next

0:04

month we're going into human clinical

0:06

trials to test for the first time

0:08

whether we can reverse the aging process

0:10

[music]

and cure diseases. We can tackle aging

0:14

because we now believe we understand why

0:16

we age. Our bodies are more like

0:18

computers that can be programmed and

0:20

reprogrammed and rebooted

0:23

to be young again. And this graph showed

0:25

that you can even measure changes,

0:27

chemical changes on our DNA in our blood

0:30

or anywhere. We can take a cheek swab

0:32

from our mouth and we can measure how

0:34

old we are, not by our birthdays, which

0:36

is called chronological age, but by how

0:39

fast our body is getting older. We call

0:41

this our biological age. And you can see

0:43

on this graph some people are much

0:45

younger than others even if they have

0:47

the same birthday.

The speaker presents a groundbreaking perspective on aging, characterizing it as a medical condition that can be treated. By comparing the human body to a programmable computer, the speaker introduces the concept of biological age, which can be measured through chemical changes in DNA, and announces upcoming clinical trials aimed at reversing the aging process.
