Immortality Institute volunteer liveforever22 has been busy pulling together video clips of interest to healthy life extension supporters and uploading them to the new online video distribution networks. You'll find a list of links in the resources section and more in a related discussion thread:

Television interviews by Aubrey de Grey:

CBC Interview of Aubrey de Grey 5:53 in length

"Richard and Judy" show Aubrey interview 6:33 in length

"Good Morning" Aubrey interview 7:23 in length

Conference presentations by Aubrey de Grey (minus the Imminst conference, which is below):

Poptech conference presentation 45:06 in length - pretty low quality video, but worth seeing just for the musical intro by Johnathan Colton (who is terrific in and of himself)

TedGlobal conference presentation 29:59 in length - I hadn't watched this till I uploaded it, but it is a very good overview especially for people who have never heard of Aubrey

ImmInst Conference Videos:

Intro to the conference 4:17 in length - Bruce doing his thing

Martine Rothblatt 18:33 in length - Legal Rights of Conscious Computers

Brad Mellon 17:09 in length - This would be a good one to show to any of your religious or Christian friends

Aubrey de Grey 29:49 in length - Anti-Aging

...

Along with the other one on YouTube ( http://www.youtube.com/?v=guo5LmkOu6o ) I put up the 60 Minutes interview as well:

Which, to my surprise, is already a "top viewed" video the morning after I put it up there. It could be helped by some more people voting 5 stars for it, (if you have the time).

I also put a higher quality version on Google Videos (YouTube limits size to 100MB, so I had to cut down the quality for them) but they are still verifying it at the moment. I'll let you guys know when it goes live.

Feel free to pass these links around far and wide. Short videos are an excellent way to introduce your friends to healthy life extension - and show why it's important to support and encourage the future of medical research. With the right approach and large scale funding, age-related degeneration could be defeated within our lifetimes.

If you're sitting on any other videos of interest, then get them uploaded! There's no reason not to share; online video networks are a great tool for spreading information about healthy life extension and winning new support for greater funding of anti-aging medical research.
