Staying human while becoming immortal

At our Vator Splash Health 2017 event last March 23, Steve Jurvetson, Partner at DFJ and J. Craig Venter, PhD, Co–Founder and Executive Chairman of Human Longevity, Inc on Staying human while becoming immortal; A baby born today can expect to live twice as long as one born in the 19th century. We’ve come a long way. But will building the biggest database of genotypes and phenotypes to understand age-related diseases help us to live longer? When will we become the ageless generation and what are the economic and social implications?
