The article is misleading because there is extensive coverage of the 2005 criticisms but no follow-up on more recent positive comments. [[Brian K.

For the article to not be misleading, it should contain more up-to-date information. It is relevant and important that two authors from the 2005 criticisms have publicly made positive comments on Aubrey's research. I would invite a more experienced editor to make suitable changes to the article. Would something like the following be OK? ''Brian K. Kennedy and S. Jay Olshansky have made more positive comments about De Grey's research since their 2005 criticisms.'' (followed by references I've included) If not, please suggest what would be a suitable addition. |

Discography?
Hi. Steve Aoki has featured Aubrey de Grey on on musical track. Should a reference to this or discography section be added? Beyond Boundaries (Outro) ft. Aubrey de Grey - Neon Future 1 - Steve Aoki. Cheers. :) Michael Ten (talk) 05:07, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Bad description of de Grey's unit-distance graph
The Mathematics section consists of this passage:
"On April 8, 2018 de Grey posted a paper to the arXiv explicitly constructing a unit-distance graph which cannot be colored with fewer than 5 colors. The previous lower bound is due to the problem's original proposal in 1950 by Hugo Hadwiger and Edward Nelson. De Grey's graph has 1581-vertices but it has since been reduced to 633 vertices by independent researchers."
It is trivial to find a unit-distance graph that cannot be colored with fewer than 5 colors. E.g., the vertices of a regular 4-simplex in 5-dimensional Euclidean space, such as
{(sqrt(1/2),0,0,0,0), (0,sqrt(1/2),0,0,0), (0,0,sqrt(1/2),0,0), (0,0,0,sqrt(1/2),0), (0,0,0,0,sqrt(1/2))}.
The actual problem is to find a unit-distance graph of points in the plane. This condition is somehow entirely omitted from the description in the article.50.205.142.50 (talk) 20:52, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Cryonics
Is it true that de Grey has signed up with Alcor? The cited article does not mention support the claim made here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Topotrivl (talk • contribs) 06:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

2005 Criticism and More Recent Positive Comments
The article is misleading because there is extensive coverage of the 2005 criticisms but no follow-up on more recent positive comments. Brian K. Kennedy was a co-author of an MIT Technology Review submission criticizing SENS, but in a 2015 interview he was supportive of Aubrey's work and stated there was "convergence" [1]. S. Jay Olshansky was a co-author of the EMBO Reports criticism, but in a 2021 interview he was supportive of Aubrey's research [2][3][4].
For the article to not be misleading, it should contain more up-to-date information. It is relevant and important that two authors from the 2005 criticisms have publicly made positive comments on Aubrey's research. I would invite a more experienced editor to make suitable changes to the article. Would something like the following be OK? Brian K. Kennedy and S. Jay Olshansky have made more positive comments about De Grey's research since their 2005 criticisms. (followed by references I've included) If not, please suggest what would be a suitable addition.
