Ep. 200 The Quest for Immortality

Fascinating Gadgets, Gizmos, and Gear Based Technologies

Once you reach 200 episodes, you start to consider life expectancy. Should a podcast go on forever? Should a human live forever? While I have no idea about the first one, today’s episode is about the second one. Sure we will quickly congratulate ourselves but then we get down to the real work: Researching the quest for immortality. It turns out we are coming alarmingly close to halting the aging process, and in some cases even reversing it. We are destroying diseases that ravaged humankind, like cancer and AIDS. We even have billionaires who are charting their biomarkers and uploading their numbers to the internet in the world’s first case of open source human experimentation. We have some a long way since Dr. Frankenstein first jolted his monster to life (our first ep. BTW), and while we can’t raise the dead (yet), we are very close to ending death once and for all.
