Dr. Daisy Robinton: Can we stop aging? - Couple Thinkers- EP 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Episode Three of Couple Thinkers continues the theme of asking really big questions. In this case: Can we stop aging? We’re not talking anti-aging creams, Botox and Pilates. We’re asking if the process itself can be stopped. To find out, Craig and Megan visit the lab of Daisy Robinton. She’s been researching how genetically tweaking our DNA can affect the aging process. And guess what - she thinks the first person who will live to 200 may already be alive.

Seconded, with gusto!
Amen!
I really enjoy the "couple thinking" premise and the show's Hosts present an ideal platform for each episode. For Craig, surely, this represents the further "deconstruction" of the talk show structure and it's a beautiful result. There is an ease and a depth in which Megan and Craig interact. There is also a level of respect that gives credibility to the hosts and to the content matter. I further enjoy the curiosity and the intellectual challenge the hosts seem to embrace. Having little knowledge of Megan -- but having enjoyed years of watching Craig perform and express himself -- I find myself overjoyed to see these two interact. The fact that they challenge each other intellectually is enticing. Within each episode I feel myself being drawn into a safe place for such discussions. This is a pleasant, thought-provoking half-hour -- magnificently done. More, please.
These two have infinite charm. This show deserved to be put out on TV and subtitled for foreign markets. I'm sure this has worldwide appeal. We need more curiosity about the world we live in and less about celebrities. Such a simple and well-worn statement, yet nothing changes.
Wow. Seriously, Craig and Megan, absolutely a brilliant piece. You are on it. More!...please.
Watching these episodes I'm getting a better idea of the dynamics of a very healthy relationship. Craig and Megan share something very magical. It is a beautiful thing, and the world needs more of it.
Only today did I discover Craig and Megan are doing this. I'm watching all of them and posting links on Facebook.
Brilliant marriage and no two finer role models of a purpose driven relationship.
Thank you for this channel. Keep up the extraordinary work.
I love you the Ferguson’s. I can’t believe I only watched Craig on the late show on RUclips a year ago. I used to make fun of my daughters, Marina age 15, and Liliana age 17I just subscribed to this channel and I got choked up a bit because I was 18 when he passed away at 46. As I write this comment at 58. I have already passed him up by 12 years. I hope to meet you both in person someday! Keep up the great content. We definitely want our parents to live longer.

Really love these programs. Great chemistry between Craig and Megan. Interesting information too! More please!
Love Craig & Megan. So good together. Will watch EVERY single one of these that they make. Please Season 2...PLEASE :)
As much as I have enjoyed your late,late tv show, what you and Megan are doing with your new show speaks directly to my mind! I have always thought that calling yourself a comedian was way short sighted. I am again, one of your regulators. I would like to send you a periodic tweet, but I’m 83 and haven’t figured out how to do it yet.

They are just great together! Craig is one person I would love to meet before I die.....if only just to thank him.
Please make more, these are interesting , funny and clever and I flipping love 'em!
Wow, you guys. You'd better make more of these eventually. I mean, in between writing books and producing movies, and doing podcasts, and raising children...thank you for making this series.
Mary Brewer actually GANT produce these mini serious.
+Mary Brewer If you want more of something like this just watch Joe Rogan's podcast with Duncan Trussell and Russell Brand.
Here's an excerpt from them.

actually craig produced he was a producer ...
Liking this show more and more as I go through each episode. "Science is like magic, but real" what a line, science is the true magic, science rocks!
I'm loving these videos...they really make you think, and that's something I always enjoyed about Craig. On his late night show, there were moments of "edutainment", which kept everything interesting.
Really good show.. thank you Megan and Craig. Lots to think about. Everyone should have such a nice relationship like you two seem to have. It's all about the respect and ability and to be capable of listening to another person. Great content on show. You keep making and I'll keep watching.
it's always a joy to see Craig react to his mind blowing..
awesome show, Craig please do more of these.
wonderful production with Craig and his wife. so awesome to see him back investigating the big issues in our world today. so happy that GANT decided to make it. please produce more maybe with different celb couples.
Green y grem. .
Some people must hate life, I would jump at the opportunity to extend mine. I've had ups and downs, more downs than ups, but the fact is, is we're here once and once only. I would love to live to 200!
If one had the money....
keep dreaming .. no one want to live in world full of problems war deseases even nature is kind of scary on how animals kill each other to survive . even if they could make you younger it still doesnt stop you from diying in accident, deadly desease , war ....
There is the problem of limited resources. People need to die out so new people can live.
We already have an energy and food sustainability problem, imagine if the world's population suddenly doubled because everyone lived to 200, especially if even though people lived that long they still got too old to continue as active members of society and so could not physically work for most of their life span. Or of course if ultimately people stopped dying altogether, population would rise uncontrollably unless some kind of mass sterilization was carried out.
Of course this is all very philosophical but not a practical concern for the near future because these technologies are highly experimental, they are only used for research or in the treatment of specific diseases and that will be the case for a long time, and when eventually you can just walk into a clinic and ask to be bioengineered in a Captain America sort of way that will be extremely expensive and only available to a minority.

Absolutely love this show. I hope there's a second season, going to run out of episodes, and I only discovered it tonight! Such a great topic, I believe, if science can accomplish it, why not? That being said, I also think, before humanity could use the science, especially _this_ type of science, "responsibly", society would need to change on a fundamental level. That is, it would require us to completely change the way we view ourselves, each other, the world, and how we relate to it, a global paradigm shift, if you will. Of course, that won't happen before we've all but destroyed ourselves and our world, one can hope though. So the system we live in now, will only corrupt it, science isn't good or bad, it just is, the "bad" only happens in its application, and so far, we don't have a great track record. Just my humble 2 cents worth.
i can say we all want Dr. Daisy Robinson to stop aging or at least live allot longer ....an amazing person
Very interesting and I am really enjoying the relationship aspect that Ferguson's are sharing. Their conversations remind me of the wonderful time spent with my husband and how close they bring us. Thank you for sharing.
Yeah okay... this show is fantastic. Loving it. (I still miss Secretariat and Geoff, but this is awesome)
Craig doing a video podcast. Much like radio lab. Two favourite shows in one😍😍
Good to have the ethical questions along with the breakthrough innovations too.
Man, this show is so good, I feel bad for finding it so late.
Well done Craig !
What a very intense subject with the ability to change or to stop aging or to cure disease all together the very concept is mind-boggling
@GANT yes. please do more episodes with Craig and Megan.. besides having Craig, the topics are all very interesting indeed..
I really want more episodes of this show
"Live long enough, you bury all your friends, live forever, you bury everyone you love!" - I forget who said it.
This is Daisy Robinson and curently 90 years old... that would have been awesome!!!
This content is amazing!
i always come to this episode just to hear that bit of song at the end.
it's just bittersweet.
Selfishness is living forever. A better human trait is realizing our time is short and live forever in the moment.
We have been increasing our lifespan for centuries now with medical technology.
This is such a great production!
Awesome chapter (as the others too :) ). About what Craig was saying about what's an issue or what makes you what you are, that's a very good point. If Salvador Dalí, or David Bowie, or Freddy Mercury were born now, would their creativity were conceived as a handicap or an "issue" to make them "normal"? If we lose all craziness, lateral thinking, creativity, we will all became the same thing, and the music, the literature, the paint, the movies, everything done by radically different people, will be lost forever.
Oh, Craig. You have nothing to worry about. You are BEAUTIFUL.
Great topic and conversation. I am on Megan's side in this one. I would love to put a door stop on time for a bit and even rewind it a little if possible.
This show is awesome!
This is great, and as usual Craig and Megan have a great conversation and raise interesting issues, but I wish they'd talked to more people on this one, or if the idea is always to have just one guest then a different person. While I have a huge amount of respect for Robinton's work, I don't think she was especially eloquent or good at explaining the science. Aubrey deGrey's the real expert on aging, and he's a great figure to talk to.
Can we have a playlist of the background score. It's really good
We need more
I love craig, and this show is awesome so far
The shows are great -- keep up the good work!
The bagpipes at 22:42 is definitely a joke, and the punchline is when the text "Venice Beach" appears. That is defintely an intentional joke.
Edit: Not saying bagpipes is out of place btw, I'm saying they organized a joke around the music.
Instablaster
Mr. Fly…Fancy seeing you here.
Love this series! And holy moly...two amazingly beautiful + smart woman in the same clip? Much wow.
Good luck with this lady!
Surprised she didn't talk about CRISPR.
isabel rojas she talked about it in her TEDx talk. The CRISPR cas-9 genome thats found in the bacteria thats used to make yogurts(sorry retarded so i cant remember the name) to defend themself againts viruses. I think the ones shes talking about in this video is another different thing since thers a multiple research about curimg aging with many different ways possible.
CRISPR is just a tool. When she was talking about breeding genetically modified species, that is done using CRISPR.
crisper is not that great for people, but what comes after crisper might be awesome. www.technologyreview.com/s/610721/crispr-trials-are-about-to-begin-in-people-but-we-still-dont-know-how-well-it-works-in/
She did, though, around 18:35. She just didn't refer to it by name. What she was talking about with re-editing the genes of some animal, that's CRIPSR.
Or telomeres
Good use of music in this one.
LittlePhoenixKid what's the song's name?
agreed! trying to find the song that plays at the end
not even shazam can find it.. :/
Camille Beluze -Older
Watching this high is especially mind altering
thank you so much for the conversation
A new look or at least not one we saw on the Late Night show. A sort of frowny, focused, thoughtfull, concentrated look. The Craig learning about sciency stuff look. Gonna need some wrinkle cream if you're going to keep that up.
Craig Ferguson
Not just a comedian.
Who would've thought it!!
Yes. I thanked GANT in a previous communication to them. Thanks for the info, though.
I understand the need for knowledge and perhaps using this specific kind of science to possible eliminate disease. But there were a group of people, about 70 years ago that had a similar idea to this and we all know how that went. We have to tread very lightly and with great thought and consideration move forward.
Eating healthy as one way to extend our lives is not only manageable by the wealthy. It depends on each individual. A while ago I was discussing with a friend and arrived to this truthful conclusion. People complain that buying organic food is too expensive and consequently unaffordable and unattainable. Nevertheless, if each person thinks that we are replenishing the food that we as human organisms are utilizing then shouldn't we invest in food that cells in each organ as part of the whole organism requires for the best possible function. We are energy, molecules, cells that in conjunction make up the organism that works 8 hours for us the individual---I think we can all try to afford better quality of food and better eating habits. I am really enjoying their conversation. I think that this type of conversation should be the type that is talked between students, friends, colleagues, spouses, relatives because it is positive, energizing, and great for our brain cells. Keep up the episodes Craig Ferguson...why can't people make this type of series popular instead of reality tv shows that only entice drama and inconsequential subjects.
Man Craig had her in the lab when he asked what's aging 😂😂😂
She was like oh shit this guy definitely not stupid
Craig, anti-aging is not about stopping time, it is about gaining time for your mind and body.
It is becoming obvious to me that Craig Ferguson is almost certainly a fan of JRE. And is also likely a student of all of the useful information of RUclips. He knows a lot about a variety of topics. This is evident in his little comments here and there.
amazing couple
More please.
What an odd decision to cut off their last discussion... Anyways, great video!
PLEASE DO MORE
Very informative video
Thank you
I found this channel with Neil DeGrasse and I LOVE IT!! I WISH I could be as amazing and cool as this couple ❤️ 😍
Wow I haven't seen this type of like to dislike ratio on any Craig's videos. I think people are very concern about the topic they discussed.
Scientist/model appears at 4:37
We should all be so lucky to work in her "lab"
She is hot, too goddamn hot
The chicken came first (Gen 1:20). 🐔 But you are right that we share elements with the cosmos as we were made from the dust of the ground (Gen 2:7)! 🏝️
Craig returns Yasssssssss ❤️
GATTACA. Then again, a good friend had an accident, was told he would NEVER walk again. Went to France, got stem cell treatment, he is walking now. A miracle, depending on how you see it.
One of the things I really worry about with technology like what is described in this episode is does this create a gap between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' that becomes so endemic that we really do turn into 'homo sapiens' and 'homo superior'? As a species we have shown that one part of our population that has a big advantage has ALWAYS used that advantage to the detriment of the other part. Always. So how do we avoid that in this case when the advantage isn't going to be a higher tech base, or greater access to a particular resource that can be overcome, but a fundamental advantage in average intelligence, greater health/lower health-care costs, better athleticism, and a significantly longer life-span allowing for greater accumulation of resources/money? Is it even possible? I mean let's face it. I have access to pretty significant wealth, thus if this becomes available for my children (or even myself, but at nearly 50 years of age I'm probably on the 'wrong side' of the line to take advantage) I'll pay for it and so will all of my siblings. So in a microcosm you have one extended family that over a few generations gets this advantage when, assuming it is a very expensive process for the first few generations, the vast majority of people don't. Is that 'right' or 'fair', or even acceptable? I don't know.
Craig, by gosh I think you have hit pay dirt! Continue to March.
Nice video MK,
Just for the record I would like to live forever.if people don't want to live forever let them..but we should have the choice if we can have to choice.
One thing is for sure, life is a spectrum which means there will be those that choose to live forever and those that choose to die. Neither is more natural or less natural, it's all evolution and whomever survives the longest, wins. In fact, we want the spectrum of humanity to grow to ensure that something of us survives in any form. Also, "society" can't have a discussion because society is purely an emergent property of a community's actions. It's an afterthought, a definition of what our community looked like when we looked at it. It could be entirely different tomorrow. The fact that all of this is scary and out of your control doesn't mean it shouldn't happen. You still have the right to refuse and live your own life. The moment someone tries to force longevity on you, that's when moral arguments matter. Just as you might not want to live that long, I might and it's my right to pursue that.
You can slow the aging process if you change the way you think about it. Most people have the misconception that when you hit a certain age your overall physical health automatically declines. That's just not true.
I like that "your never going anywhere until you tidy of your room" you should make hats and t-shirts with the globe on it & use it to wake people up 👍
Live forever....Whatever you do in life - great healthy living in which ever form you choose ,what ever part of the world you may find yourself. Body guards(lol)!
You cross the road for example and are hit,killed by a vehicle.Body guards fired(lol).
Live forever...the roll of the dice.Who rolls it?Where?When?Why?
So....what is life?
Simply forever or not....enjoy the time you do have with fellow human beings family,friends even strangers.....we are all just passing on a journey to where?
I’m Scottish, a Glaswegian and what I’m led to believe is party and enjoy your time given on this plant we call earth!!!! CHEERS!
Life is ‘pure dead brilliant’ as we say at home!
Interesting way to brand and product place Gant...
I would rather then figure out away to pass our knowledge on to our offspring so when they are born they will already know what we know and they can learn different things faster
You should interview an evolutionary biologist. Many of these clever doctors don't know a think about what evolution is and means. Just saying... Great show! And I like and agree on the Craig point of view.
I would be willing to double my lifespan, if only my dog could come too.
This has been a great production. Did Megan go to school abroad because her accent does not sound like a Vermonter.
What’s with so many dislikes?
I really want to watch the threeway that happened after this
I love the intro song
Hey,I just spotted Tuyen in the credits. Didn't see Liza though.
The intro song is cool...any ideas where to find it?
This is good very good 👍👋😊
Can someone please tell me what the song is at 26 55? Right at the end?
It's wierd to see Craig this serious but anyways I like it.
This makes me wonder who authorizes continuing on these paths and how far is it permitted to go?
I love being old and the good thing is that I'm getting older every second
Ai caramba!
26:55 what song is this?
You can't stop aging, but you don't have to do things that speed it up.
Wheres Geoff??!!
Who sings the song at the end of the program???
Hi guy’s. Found the show the other day. Well done. Question on aging? The aging process is slowed. Let’s say life span 250 heathy years, at about your current “look”. Your kids, 2 boys (right) age up to your “look”. One decides to age normal. The other slows the process. When the one son life’s leads to be an old man. You, your wife and son. Watch him die before your eye’s. Those emotions to me, wouldn’t they not break your heart ? Right then and there? I would further ask? Are we as humans, not human anymore? Is that a good thing?
You have posed an interesting question you Scottish bastard. What would Geoff say, I wonder? An, Icarus quote??? Enjoying the show.
what craig mentions at around 12:30 is a philosphical concept known as the "ship of theseus". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus
