This is the top tech news of the week in America.
Who wants to live forever? This was asked by Queen on her famous song from the 1986 album ‘A Kind Of Magic’, but there is a company in which Jeff Bezos (Amazon) is involved who wants to make it a reality.
This is High Labs, a company for which Bezos and his partner Yuri Milner have recruited a team of scientists.
The scientific advisory board for this risky and futuristic initiative will be chaired by Shinya Yamanaka, 2012 Nobel Laureate in Medicine.
It seems like such a challenging and ambitious idea would be exclusive, but no. There is already another big player in the competition: Calico Labs, created in 2013 by Larry Page, co-founder of Google.
Who hopes to live forever anyway? Well, those at High Labs are waiting for it and are going to invest all their resources in it.
