Extending Lifespan: Hardware or Software Problem?

The episode explores the possibility of extending healthy lifespan by looking at the longevity of other species and the concepts of hardware and software problems. The Greenland shark, living up to 500 years and reproducing at 200 years, prompts the question of why humans can't achieve similar longevity. The explanation lies in the epigenome, the controls that determine which genes are on or off. As we age, the epigenome becomes blurred. However, recent advancements in epigenetic reprogramming offer hope for reversing aging and rejuvenating the body.
