For his part, the doctor Mehmood Khandirector of the Hevolution Foundation said: “We have been investigating for a long time and when we ask people what they want, if you live healthier or live more, what they tell us is that they want to remain functional, independent and being able to make their own decisions.”
Among other of the most ambitious predictions there was talk of the possibility of curating all types of cancer in the next ten years and to control neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson. “Thirty years ago there were many types of cancer without cure, today they are curable,” says Dr. Khan. And Cordeiro goes even further: “In 10 years I believe that we are going to cure all cancers. All thanks to the incredible advances of science. And there will be diseases such as Parkinson or Alzheimer’s that will be more controllable.”

A thousand years of life: The objective of experts
The specialists put the year as horizon 2045date on which these advances could be available to the entire population and not only for those who have great fortunes.
Faced with the skepticism generated by their statements, Cordeiro recalled: “Scientific advances find a lot of opposition in their beginnings. When Galileo He said that the earth was not the center of the universe or even the solar system wanted to burn him. But then it was discovered that the center of the solar system was the sun. TO Darwin They told him the same. “
“Longevity is a dream as old as humanity. Today science is giving us the tools to approach it,” he concluded.
