From the Aubrey de Grey Wikipedia entry [1]
> Both women describe situations in which de Grey, {...} explicitly spoke with them about sex. According to Halioua’s account, he even told her that it was her responsibility to sleep with SENS donors to encourage financial contributions. Deming was only 17 when, she alleges, de Grey told her he wanted to speak with her about his “adventurous love life.”
What might be even worse is the response by SENS:
> In March 2022, the SENS Research Foundation released a statement regarding de Grey's employment affirming that while his actions "did substantiate instances of poor judgment and boundary-crossing behaviors, Dr. de Grey is not a sexual predator."
I’m also the father of a daughter and this makes my blood boil.
Relating this back to the topic of life extension technology, one effect is that evil people will live longer. I’d wager that life extension technology would create an evolutionary advantage for evil people because they are more prone to power-seeking ideologies and therefore more likely to adopt the technology than conventionally morally good people, who would be more at peace with death.

- micromacrofoot 4y agoYou don’t need to have a daughter to be angry about this! Suggesting prostitution is outrageously uncalled for. That guy is an asshole. I won’t comment on what defines someone as evil, but rich people do already live longer - so this would further exaggerate a gap that already exists. That’s a very safe bet.
