Description
In this episode we discuss the potential for medical science to dramatically increase human life expectancy in the coming years. Could we start measuring our ages in centuries rather than decades? We’ll discuss the possibility, some current research, and the opinions of Aubrey de Grey, one of the major voices in the longevity project. We also address social questions, concerns, and challenges unique to the church.
Also, a new microphone means better audio quality!
