He's far from a crackpot (negative connotations), eccentric would be a better term. Don't forget that De Grey has been one of the main popularizer of anti-aging science, and largely thanks to him there's now serious momentum behind it. This recent interview with Aubrey de Grey is really worth listening to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFST20xHwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFST20xHwk He seems to think that anti-aging science has speeded up drastically recently, both in terms of the science itself, the funding and the popularity. I really love what the SENS Foundation is doing in terms of spinning research avenues into startups, since most investors are far more likely to fund high-risk investments than non-profit ones. He also mentions other positive developments in terms of legislation and advocacy.
