Humans have always tried to prolong life and battle mortality, but
what do the current influx of biohackers reveal about this era of
individual responsibility? Timothy Caulfield, a professor and
the research director at the Health Law Institute at the University
of Alberta, studies how health and science are represented in the
public sphere. The lines between wellness culture, longevity, and
biohacking are beginning to blur, and Caulfield offers advice about
how to dodge misinformation and unproven theories while still
pursuing a long and meaningful life. Listeners, how do you
