The idea of cheating death is audacious - and yet, undeniably tempting. If we could preserve our minds or bodies indefinitely, who wouldn't at least consider it?
In this mind-expanding session, neuroscientist Ariel Zeleznikow-Johnston explores the radical possibilities of brain preservation. He argues that death isn't defined by a stopped heart or final breath, but by the loss of personal identity - one encoded in the very structure of our brains. As scientific breakthroughs bring us closer to preserving that structure, the prospect of future revival moves from science fiction into scientific possibility.
Zeleznikow-Johnston tackles the ethical, biological and philosophical implications head-on in The Future Loves You: How and Why We Should Abolish Death, questioning long-held fears of overpopulation, social stagnation and unnaturalness. He joins Dr Jen Martin to offer a compelling case for rethinking what it means to die - and what it might one day mean to live again.
