Available until 06/11/2028 Who wouldn't want to be younger? But to go from there to being immortal... And if we were really capable of it, what would be the consequences for individuals, society and the planet? Is the quest for immortality a sweet dream or an abomination? For several years, a particularly attractive theory has been gaining ground: aging would be just another disease, from which it would be possible to cure. From then on, cancers, dementia and cardiovascular diseases would no longer represent a threat to us. But if rejuvenation seems desirable a priori, what about eternal life? Would a world of immortals be akin to a utopia or a nightmare? Alongside Bertolt Meyer, philosophy professor Janina Loh, who analyses the consequences that immortality would have for society and the planet, talks with the founder of the German Party for Medical Research on Rejuvenation, Felix Werth.
