*******************
A book called “Transcend: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever,” discusses how we can extend our life long enough so that scientists in the not-too-distant future (30 years) can reprogram our bodies by using millions of little robots in our blood called “nanobots” to keep us healthy. The author of the book, Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, takes 120 pills a day to maintain his health for the next 30 years. He might need them because he is already 60 years old! (by Prof. Simon Smith)
