The Forbes Global CEO Conference took place in September 2007 in Singapore. Dr. Robert Goldman gave over 400 tycoons a key conference briefing on the medical biotechnology behind the revolution in aging, and its societal implications. He submitted to the world's top business leaders that we now stand on the brink of a golden age of greatly extended human longevity.
"We now understand the human body better than ever," said Dr Goldman in his conference briefing. "How and why it ages and sickens, and how to prevent disease, and fix or replace body parts that degenerate. We have emerging biomedical technologies such as stem cell therapy, nano technology drug delivery and even the development of bio identical replacement organs. With early detection and appropriate intervention, many diseases can be prevented, cured, or have their downward course reversed."
Dr. Goldman suggests that we are at the cutting edge of a major shift in medical science: from the treatment of disease to a focus on wellness. "The cumulative effects of these advances mean that life spans of up to, and over 120 years are possible for people alive today," he said.
