This is a very nice talk on aging, and I would love to hear further thoughts and comments about it. How can we develop the tools necessary to prevent aging. What is being done about it?

It seems to me that one of the most pressing issues is skin cells and dermatology is a crucial issue for this.
So, what would the technology or "engineering" that prevents aging be like? I suppose medicine and medical devices are such a technology? Perhaps robots? What exactly is to be the form of engineering which reduces this so called "damage" that Aubrey De Grey has talked about in the video?
Perhaps we will by installing robot parts into ourselves become robot and human hybrids which will never age.
