“In 1974, Gene Wilder, playing Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, screamed in an annoyed tone at a young medical student, ‘Hearts and kidneys are tinker toys! I’m talking about the central nervous system!’ As long as there has been science fiction, there has been speculation about longer-lasting life. Here are technologies and medical advances actually being discussed or worked on, that could one day allow people to live to be a thousand years old.” w/ photos
