I'm supposing it's relating to this guy: Aubrey de Grey (wikipedia). He's a professor at Oxford I think who has been researching regenerative medicine: cleansing cells + healthy living, so as to extend life. Is this it OP?

Healthy living only does so much to extend your life, nowhere near the "past 130 if they choose to", and you will age accordingly(So you will be "old and wrinkly" at age 90 for example no matter how healthy you are).

The only things I know of that can actually potentially reverse or temporary stop aging is Stem cells, nanomedicine(Such as enzymes that somehow "replenish" cells, or discovering how to apply Henrietta Lack's "immortal cells" to stop aging in everyone else(As telomores are thought to be the thing that as they shrink do to every cell splitting, cause aging of the cell and eventual death of said cell, that's ceased however in the case of "immortal cells").

Then there's robotics and the prospect of "transforming" the human body with robotic machinery.
