Thanks.  It's interesting to see  how wildly over-optimistic Walford was about CR back then.

I started at 18, you telling me I won't live to 140 with just CR? 😨

But yeah, he still had good reason to be that optimistic back then I think. But I'm still personally optimistic that in some people it will be really effective and someone starting at a young age could reach 120 and beyond. 

I still believe! 😛

Well Considering your young and add to that the hope that life extension pharmaceuticals/procedures will be more likely over time and yes I think you should be optimistic!

Old segment featuring Roy Walford and Lisa. Roy seemed to be quite slow here in his speech... He already diagnosed with ALS at this point?  He was 76 years old here.
