Human Biological Immortality Can Be Achieved With Perpetual-Equalising Interventions

This article is an adaptation of Marios Kyriaziz explanation on Human biological Immortality. The article describes how Human Biological Immortality will turn out to be a direct result of natural evolution. This natural process can be accelerated in various ways like via the concept of ELPIs (Extreme Lifespan Through Perpetual-Equalising Interventions). Marios Kyriazis MD, Biomedical [...]
