How long can humans live for? – The feasibility of an age-defying population
Manage episode 279609196 series 2578255
As we begin to unlock the secrets held in our DNA, we could all live healthier, for a lot longer - but how much longer is the key question…how far can we push the boundaries? How do we defy the natural phenomenon of ageing...but more importantly, what implications would it have? In this podcast, I’d like to explore the current scientific and medical restrictions on life and how with advances in science, we may be able to overcome them. This in itself raises a number of serious concerns; what might the social, economic, and ethical implications be of everyone living the lives truly to the fullest – with an ever increasing population, how does that affect access to resources, which as we know, are limited?
