Episode 9: Aging and Medical Advances

Who wants to live forever? According to survey’s, only about ⅓ of Americans. However, many would like to live longer or at least live healthier. What if you could do both, and in time, maybe for hundreds of years or more? Today we’ll talk about medical technology advances that are trying to not just extend life, but cure aging as if it’s a disease. Remember, you can ignore technology, but it won’t ignore you.
