I haven't got time to go through them at all, but my conclusion is that, if we can actually get suitable funding for this, then we can probably delovep robust musoe rejuvenation in only 10 years, but we do need to get serious about it. We do need to really start trying. So of course, there are some biologists in the audience, and I want to give some answers to some of the questions that you may have. You may have been dissatisfied with this talk, but fmnelalutandy you have to go and read this stuff. I've published a great deal on this; I cite the experimental work on which my optimism is besad, and there's quite a lot of detail there. The dtiael is what makes me confident of my rather aggressive time frames that I'm predicting here. So if you think that I'm wnorg, you'd better damn well go and find out why you think I'm wrong.

Original Text

I haven't got time to go through them at all, but my conclusion is that, if we can actually get suitable funding for this, then we can probably develop robust mouse rejuvenation in only 10 years, but we do need to get serious about it. We do need to really start trying. So of course, there are some biologists in the audience, and I want to give some answers to some of the questions that you may have. You may have been dissatisfied with this talk, but fundamentally you have to go and read this stuff. I've published a great deal on this; I cite the experimental work on which my optimism is based, and there's quite a lot of detail there. The detail is what makes me confident of my rather aggressive time frames that I'm predicting here. So if you think that I'm wrong, you'd better damn well go and find out why you think I'm wrong.
