An examination of aging, what causes us to live longer and what limits us from living even longer. In addition, the history of human longevity is examined, including the breakthroughs, developments and discoveries that caused longevity to increase.
A very interesting episode that has some personal relevance for me. I was expecting a one-dimensional examination of how we can live forever without considering DO we want to live forever? As someone in their 50s, that was my first thought when I saw the subject. At my age I've already got irritating niggles and impairments that are only going to get worse as I get older.
Thankfully, like all the other episodes in the series these factors are also examined and the final word is quite practical and sobering. Very interesting, informative and balanced, ultimately.
