Science Could Soon Add Decades to Your Life
On the first episode of Bloomberg’s The Future With Hannah Fry, she uncovers the cutting-edge research, and conundrums, behind human longevity.
The Future With Hannah Fry: Longevity
A scientific revolution has begun, one that may bring the fantasy of immortality a little closer to reality—at least by a few decades anyway. Researchers the world over are closing in on discoveries that may help humans live much longer—perhaps well into their 100s. But with this new technology comes many unanswered questions: how will such extended lifespans affect society, both socially and financially? What will the quality of those extra years be? And, in the end, will we really want to live that long after all?
On the first episode of The Future With Hannah Fry, a new Bloomberg Originals series featuring the renowned mathematician and writer Hannah Fry, we join biohackers in a California laboratory and a neuroscientist in Tokyo to explore the latest scientific research and age-defying techniques, while also delving into the more philosophical questions of what it means to live to a healthy, happy old age.
