Boosting longevity

Would you like to live to experience, not only the year 2025, but also 2075, 2125, and beyond?
This informal meetup is being organised by Didier Coeurnelle, taking advantage of the fact that many London Futurists will be in central London for the Anticipating 2025 event this weekend.
Didier is co-chair of HEALES, the Healthy Life Extension Society, which was founded in Brussels.
Didier writes:
At the moment, there is little that people can do to significantly increase their healthy life expectancy. But futurists are aware this could change in the not-too-distant future.  The plan for this gathering is to informally discuss questions related to longevity, such as: 
• Recent developments around the companies CalicoHuman Longevity Inc, and In Silico Medicine Inc
• Information about recent scientific progress
• How to convince your favourite politicians that they should make life extension a priority
• How to take advantage of the increasing popular press interest in healthy life extension
• Is popularizing radical ideas related to longevity (for example use of the "I" word) (*) a good or bad idea?
