85 – Interview with 100 Plus author Sonia Arrison, part 1

Play

(duration 27:19)In this episode we discuss the book “100 Plus: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, From Careers and Relationships to Family and Faith” with its author, Sonia Arrison. Humans are constantly using technology to change their lives, and this includes extending our lifespans and healthspans. How long would you like to live? This is the question for each of us, as innovation continues. Unfortunately, humans have typically sold themselves short in the realm of longevity. Advances in computers and their application in bioinformatics (e.g., in genomics and proteomics) will continue to prove invaluable in the quest to understand and finally deal with aging. Stem cell and nanomedical technologies will prove key as well. Extended lifespans won’t necessarily mean unsustainable populations and destroyed ecosystems, because humans can be quite resourceful beings. :)
