Technology Review at it again, unprofessionalism abounds

There was a recent article over at Technology Review where they found a fellow willing to poke fun at Aubrey de Grey. But despite there being a $20,000.00 prize for professionally debunking SENS, Dr. de Grey's theory for treating the disease of aging, this fellow apparently didn't have what it takes to take that challenge. No, cute prose is all he can offer. It's rather unprofessional. The following is my comment to the piece that apparently never got published on the website and it now appears that a great many negative comments made by others toward Miller's approach have been removed. Go figure!

Not a single comment in favor...

....of Richard Miller's feeble attempt to deface de Grey. I've read every single comment and found not a single comment supporting Miller's lack of professionalism. Is TR going to take note that again they've put their foot in their mouths by allowing this garbage to be printed?

Miller, if you aren't smart enough or talented enough to take on SENS point for point then what EXACTLY is your motivation for attacking its creator with mere childish satire? Are you trying to become known from here on out in the annals of history as one of the few morons that killed millions of people long before their time, robbing them of incalculable numbers of years of enjoyment of life by holding up the progress to cure aging?

Do you really think, given the pace of development of human technology -- just imagine the airplane was only invented 102 years ago and think of where we are now and are heading with flight and even space flight, that we will never cure aging? Are you really that dense? So if it's possible someday then what your and others efforts to doubt it are only really accomplishing is simply a delay of it. That delay will cost lives, have you even considered for a moment the moral implication?

What if those that objected to artificial respiration had managed to stop people developing that for say 100 or more years?
