Episode description

Beginning with some introductory remarks by David Katz where he introduces his thesis that aging is an adaptive trait of the evolutionary process, we then transition to a discussion of whether the cessation of aging or death is an advisable course of action. David avers that it is ultimately a worthy goal, whereas I contend it is deeply unwise. Some of David's efforts in this connection can be found at his website, here: https://www.curing-aging.com/
