The Curious Quest for Longevity

Imagine living for hundreds of years or even longer. The concept of aging and what it means to live a long life is not just a scientific question, it's also a philosophical one. Venki Ramakrishnan, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, explores the science of aging in his book Why We Die - The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality. There are fascinating discussions about why different creatures have such varied lifespans—from mayflies that live only a day to Greenland sharks that can last for over 400 years. While scientists are making strides in understanding how aging works and how we might slow it down, we must also consider the consequences of potentially living forever. What would that mean for our society, our environment, and our personal experiences? Exploring these questions can help you think critically about the future of humanity and your role in it.
