What if aging wasn’t inevitable? What if the dream of living forever wasn’t just the stuff of myths and science fiction? The Quest for Immortality: The Science of Aging and Longevity is an eight-part series that takes listeners on an extraordinary journey through the past, present, and future of humanity’s relentless pursuit of life without limits.This show unravels the mysteries of aging, starting with ancient myths like the Philosopher’s Stone and the Fountain of Youth and progressing to cutting-edge science, reshaping our understanding of life itself. Explore the biological secrets that drive aging, from telomere shortening and cellular damage to the astonishing mechanisms of nature’s ageless wonders, like the jellyfish that can cheat death and the long-lived Greenland shark.Delve into the laboratories at the forefront of longevity research, where scientists are rewriting the rules of biology. Discover the power of CRISPR to repair aging genes, the potential of senolytics to eliminate worn-out cells, and the promise of young blood therapy to rejuvenate the human body. Alongside these breakthroughs, uncover the ethical dilemmas and societal shifts that could arise from a world where living to 150 or beyond becomes the norm.Beyond the science, this documentary dares to ask profound questions: What happens when we outlive everyone we love? Would immortality strip life of its meaning? Featuring interviews with leading scientists, philosophers, and futurists, The Quest for Immortality balances hope, science, and humanity in a thought-provoking exploration of the ultimate human aspiration.With compelling stories, this documentary will leave you inspired, curious, and deeply reflective about the future of life itself. Will humanity unlock the secrets of immortality, or are some things better left untouched? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
