Putting an end to human aging is now becoming a reality, and immortality is no longer just a dream. Through what we are calling "Fantastic Voyage," we provide a guide to achieving life extension through various means, thereby slowing down aging and disease processes. The three components of Fantastic Voyage are: Bridge One--Aggressively applying today's knowledge. Bridge Two--Putting biotechnology, such as gene technologies, to use with therapeutic cloning and rejuvenation medicine. Bridge Three--Putting nanotechnology to use by developing a means to rebuild our bodies and brains with nanobots. Many of these technology solutions can be simulated today through the use of targeted supplements, designed to address the specific needs of an individual, such as insulin resistance, cholesterol and homocysteine levels, and inflammation. To slow aging now, we propose a program of supplementing aggressively, eating foods that impede aging and disease processes, and reversing inflammation through diet. We also provide guidance to customize each program to the specific needs of the individual. Emerging technologies in rational drug design, tissue engineering, gene therapy, and nanobots (among others) promise a future of automated life extension. The use of such technologies, and the resulting dramatic increases in productivity in all areas of human endeavor, will enable us to live in a world in which all our physical needs can be met.
终结人类衰老如今正逐渐成为现实，永生不再只是一个梦想。通过我们所谓的“神奇之旅”，我们提供了一份指南，介绍如何通过各种方式实现寿命延长，从而减缓衰老和疾病进程。“神奇之旅”的三个组成部分是：桥梁一——积极应用当今的知识。桥梁二——将生物技术，如基因技术，应用于治疗性克隆和回春医学。桥梁三——通过开发用纳米机器人重建我们身体和大脑的方法来运用纳米技术。如今，许多这些技术解决方案可以通过使用针对性的补充剂来模拟，这些补充剂旨在满足个人的特定需求，如胰岛素抵抗、胆固醇和同型半胱氨酸水平以及炎症。为了现在就减缓衰老，我们提出了一个积极补充、食用能阻碍衰老和疾病进程的食物以及通过饮食消除炎症的计划。我们还提供指导，根据个人的特定需求定制每个计划。合理药物设计、组织工程、基因治疗和纳米机器人（等等）等新兴技术预示着自动延长寿命的未来。这些技术的应用以及由此在人类努力的所有领域带来的生产力大幅提高，将使我们能够生活在一个所有身体需求都能得到满足的世界里。
