Aubrey de Grey's SENS Stands Up to Lively Debate

Aubrey de Grey's SENS Stands Up to Lively Debate: "I strongly encourage anyone with an interest in gerontology or life extension science to visit the lively debate at Technology Review concerning the 'SENS Challenge', with a prize of US $20,000 at stake. The challenge was issued a year ago, with the $20,000 prize offered to anyone who could prove that SENS was 'unworthy of learned debate.'

Technology Review has provided links to the entire debate (scroll down). Most of the entries failed to approach the level of serious consideration by the challenge judges, however one entry by Preston Estep was considered well enough argued to be awarded a $10,000 grant, which had nothing to do with the prize money for the challenge.

Links from other challengers are also provided on the TR SENS Challenge page, along with Aubrey de Grey's rebuttals, and the counter-rebuttals by the challengers. Finally, Preston Estep posted a strong protest to the judges' decision.

At the MPrize website, the editors correctly proclaim that SENS has withstood the challenges so far, and the $20,000"
