As you can read on his website or in his book, de Grey is focusing on extending healthy life, not on simply adding decades of illness. Most of the approaches he discusses mainly deal with the age-related diseases' damage done to the organism, which seems to be often (if not always) the cause of both debilitating effects and death.
Considering longevity research is a highly interdisciplinary discipline, what are the main contributions you expect from fields like physics, computer science and engineering ? What technologies are needed to realize the solutions to the seven forms of aging you're claiming ?

Historically, how common is it for scientists to get serious work done when they're in love or chasing hot women?
You might want to talk with Schrödinger about that. A little journey with his mistress in the Alps seemed profitable enough to me to science.
