Even those in the transhumanist community (in which I’m a part of) don’t take his wild claims that seriously. He recently claimed that he had “not significantly aged in fifteen years” by chowing down 250 supplements a day. His latest book, “Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough To Live Forever” was co-authored with Dr. Terry Grossman, who I heard practices some rather dubious therapies.

IMHO the technologies which will make immortality a reality are more likely to arrive in the later part of this century at the earliest.
