About this listen

These sources collectively discuss the multifaceted concept of immortality, exploring its biological, technological, and philosophical dimensions. Several texts examine biological immortality through the lens of cellular mechanisms like telomere length and epigenetic changes, and highlight organisms, such as the immortal jellyfish, that exhibit negligible senescence. The potential for human life extension through advances in stem cell therapy and anti-necrotic drugs is also addressed, alongside the bioethical and societal implications of achieving such longevity. Furthermore, the sources touch upon the emerging idea of digital immortality and the philosophical debates surrounding the meaning of life and death in a potentially immortal future.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi2mXiu8Pm6AlQ1GY5l4pPQ/joinWant other ways to support us?
