"Google and a brief history of immortality"-- TIME video
In a previous post -- "New Google division, along with TIME Magazine, follow trail blazed by technothriller, A REMEDY FOR DEATH" ( link ) I referenced a TIME article. on Calico, Google's new enterprise to explore anti-aging, life extension, and slowing or reversing the aging process.
I hadn't noticed at the time that TIME has also posted a short (about 2 minute) video "Google and the Brief History of Immortality," ( link ) which is interesting in itself. (The video follows a few paragraphs of text)
Some figures I had not seen: last year, the regenerative medicine industry was estimated at $1.5 billion, which is expected to grow to $20 billion by 2025.
I also saw today, but doggone can't find where, that Google's research budget is bigger than that of the US government's DARPA--the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency.
