‘In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and
taxes.’ While Benjamin Franklin’s quote remains true for most, the
same might not be said for some of the world’s billionaires. And
their efforts to extend life are under way too. Most recently, a
Silicon Valley startup called Altos Labs signed up a dream team of
scientists, including numerous Nobel laureates, with an aim to
rejuvenate human cells. In this episode from February 2022, Ian
Sample speaks to Prof Janet Lord about the science of ageing,
extending our health as well as our lifespans, and how old we could
actually go. Help support our independent journalism at
