TV presenter Kathryn Thomas explores the many paths people are taking in pursuit of longer life and extended youth in a new two-part series on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
Around the world, the race to beat ageing is on. From cutting edge aesthetics to longevity clinics, scientists, entrepreneurs, and tech billionaires are investing fortunes in the hope of extending human life, and perhaps even slowing aging itself.
In the age of social media, that pressure has intensified, expanding beyond celebrities to make everyone public fodder.
Along the way, Thomas meets individuals with surprising strategies for slowing the ageing process and she speaks to leading scientists working to better understand how and why we age.
Young Forever: The Death of Ageing? airs on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player on 13 April and 20 April at 9.35pm.
