Can we defeat the diseases of aging? | James Peyer | TEDxStuttgart

NOTE FROM TED: This talk, which was filmed at a TEDx event, contains sweeping assertions about diseases of aging and that lack sufficient scientific support. Without randomized clinical controlled trials, certain claims made by the speaker are hypothetical in nature. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf
