Some people will want this. Some won’t. I used to volunteer with the elderly for years I will never forget a woman of whom I spent a great deal of time. She was 97 years old. Fit and still of sound mind. She’d take a puff of her cigarette and tell me, “God is cruel. Everyday I wake up is like a cruel laugh to the face. My time on this earth is over. I’ve done everything and I’m ready to go now.”
I’m serious everyday I’d see her she wished she were dead because she felt as though her life was complete and there was nothing more for her to do. She’d tell me all these wonderful stories of her life experiences. She’d tell me she lived a fulfilling life. Some people come to a point in their lives in which they feel as though they have lived a fulfilling life and they just want to go.
In my own observation those who feel unfulfilled always wish for more time to be fulfilled.
Nothing is wrong with either. Just an interesting observation.
Thank you for sharing. Personally, I just want to live about an avergae length of time here on earth and at the end have a feeling of fulfillment, knowing Ive done my part.
Yes totally agree with you
At 97 years old and beaten up by the impact of time aging her body, why would she want to go on? All she can do is reflect on her life until she goes because she is certain she will die soon. I doubt she would think that way if she were biologically 35 and chronologically 97.
Oh, and by the way, there is no such thing as a “fit” 97 year old human.
She felt that way because she was weak, unenergized and most of all old..Put her in a 20 years old body and she would be far from ready ''to go''. I mean go where? Exactly !
I exercise every day at a gym ,walk my dog, and eat a nutritious diet. I think I'm doing everything I can. I would prefer to be healthy now than live for ever. I'm 77
Yeah what they are trying to do is keep ppl healthy not just live longer
I'm 78 and I put my cunning plan to live forever on hold some time ago.
Mainly because I suffer from a couple of untreatable conditions. Why untreatable? Because they're not covid!
I respect you Ann Borges
Using the internet at the age of 77, is a testament of your lifestyle choices. Which indicates that you are still mentally young, healthy and active.
@@MrMcCawber have you considered what will happen after that final breath you breathe out ?
Do you ever ponder about the purpose of your existence? Why something as powerful as the sun, does not move an inch or do as it pleases?
It is positioned to serve a purpose and does not move its positionz despite its size and power to destroy our planet, shoud it move closer to the earth.
I don't really mind looking old, but the elimination of certain diseases that happens in advanced aging is what makes me hopeful about these kind of stuff.
My grandma is 101. She has Alzheimer’s and my parents who are both 80 take care of her with very little help. My sister and I help when we can but we are both married.
It has been hard on the whole family. I hope that there will be a cure for Alzheimer’s within my lifetime.
Yes by all means eradicate diseases but living longer? That would be a Crime against Humanity, this planet cannot support the people on it already.
Well there is not a cure for Alzheimer, but there is prevention that reduces the risk of getting the disease substantially. Healthy diet full of omega-3 fatty acids, sport, no alcohol...
Aduhelm is already available
@@CJ-ft9yo eradicating disease would automatically lead to people living longer. I think that would be great. The world is over populated, that is true but we can't stop trying to live longer because of others
and if you are married, that's an excuse to help out around your elderly? They raised you and your sister so you owe them the time and energy back. No matter how hard it is.
It's true what he says toward the end of the video about exercise. I have worked out at least three days a week since the age of 21. In 2006, at 49 years of age, I got "carded" not once but twice! I have always believed that regular exercise is the true fountain of youth.
What how
I’m 40 and get carded too because I fast regularly so my skin is gorgeous and my size is zero
@@AnnaSzabo Carded. What does that mean ?
Get asked for ID to shoe you are either older than 18 or 21

Females especially many dont want to Lift weights or if they do üse too lite afraid of muscular look naive as that doesnt happen overnite without gut busting effort pain sweat and determination. Menopause is the deciding fact with F.
After watching this, I still want to die fast and painless.
Human obsession with eternal youth never disappears...
People would go mad if they lived to 1000. You could see yourself become a villian
Yes, you often see trout pout, doll faces and freak shows with the rich.
The subject of the video looks rather old for her age, I thought. Ironic.
I want my Teen youth back forever.
@@ReflectedMiles youth that she is talking about is internal youth. No aging of internal cells etc. This video is about health not physical beauty
People don’t want to live longer. They want to look better and feel better.
Actually, they want all of them!
... for longer
it was only just recently my legs fell off and I had to order a new pair but it was a run off the old block
I want to live longer, feel better and look better. I am so ambitious. I want it all!!!
P
I work in aged care and god, no one should get old, it is utterly 100% hideous on every level!!!!! really is a curse
Louise Watson thank you for saying that, I feel the same way
I don't see aging as a disease, and with a society as we have, such traitement will cost millions and be available just for the bourgeoise, separating more and more the poor from the rich. It will just be identical to the Love, Death and Robots series/tv show.
I agree with you, unluckily this experiment it is not for everyone.
Quality of life is more important than length of life
Nah, both.
That'd imply that you would rather live 5 years of beautiful childhood than 80 year of slightly-above-average life. Both matter, and it is their combination that matter at the end.
Yes, but why we should die if we have enjoyed the life. Some natural laws make us sad like death but if we will stop death nobody will be sad

Studies show that exercise increases the length of telomeres.
I know rather than using techniques that we know work on cells in positive ways and works on hormones like yoga and meditation, why not study those and then use those findings.

I'm one of those believers. I hate aging.
Age is just a number, and it depends on what we think about ourselves. Age is what you make it, if you think that you are old you already old if you think you are young, congratulation, you are young at heart.
¨My jewelry is in the inside" Wow, fantastic remark!
I would like to warn viewers about anti aging creams. I got some for my birthday last year. I used it every day. Imagine my disappointment when my birthday came around this year and I was exactly one year older - exactly what I would have been had I not used the stuff!
:) lolololol
Thank very much for your warning. I have seen a lot of documentaries about products for healthy life but I couldn’t count on it at all, because I knew it was fake products. These factories will only earn money on it.
Yeah most cosmetics are bullshit, the $20 ones are no different from the $200 ones, avoiding sun, smoking is best for your skin.

Sue that company !!!!
I like the whole idea of staying young (young soul). Just because you are getting old doesn't mean you have to give up taking of yourself or your appearance leading to a more fulfilling life.
But getting older or growing older has always good things too.
So taking a good care of yourself + life experience = amazing person.
I really appreciate such an incredible efforts
Mother Nature will always find a way to re-balance over-population!
Yeah, it's called "extinction", and we're practically begging for it.
We don't have to worry about that, that's within our control, not mother natures.
Yeah I completely agree with @Gold. We got out of mature nature's grasp a long time ago. We no longer live as a part of ecosystem. We created our own. Natural overpopulation rebalancing happens only in the wilderness. Now, if we manage to not destroy ourselves, we can safely live forever. And colonizing other planets will take care of overpopulation. Or we take care of it other way. After all, we are intelligent species.
If not the politicians will 😝😝😝
She seems to be failing with that at the moment But with the full blown attack of climate change human population might crash down to a billion or two.

Nothing wrong with wanting to live as healthily and as long as possible, but some of these people just seem to fear the inevitable.
AWResistance
You fear it so much that you are too paralyzed to even try and do something about it. They are way more courageous than you and most of the society who prefers to embrace the pro-aging trance instead of fighting it.
I prepare for death almost every day by worshipping my Creator. There isn't anything to be done except accepting our inevitable demise. It's where we spend eternity that really matters. Don't get too comfortable in this mortal realm.
nah I just want to live long enough to see humans colonize another galaxy
We can't even house the homeless, so i think you'll be waiting a while for any meaningful space race.
AWResistance
Well since you're religious you could look at combating ageing from a charitable point of view. Ageing brings lots of suffering to the ones that have it, and that usually gets worst and worst the more it advances. Old people have to go trough decades of suffering till they one day die due to the advanced decaying of the body.
I'm sorry for people who can't see the beauty of aging.. since I was little girl I love being around old people.. I have been working with elderly people since 02, and by what I see it give me hope for the future... The Sades think I have seen young disabled people living in Nursing Homes.. That's Sad !
love way she just explains it on a glass window...thought we had whiteboards in this day of age lol
Shes being creative do you know what that is
Longevity is the key to solving problems that span many current generations. When people can see themselves in the far future they will care about the long term effects of their actions today.

Talk about a mid life crisis
WHOABUBBAvideos lol best reply ever! 😂
5 min in and I can't watch anymore of this bs XD
Nah I have it too, im 23. You are just religious or something moronic like that, to be able to comment that piece of shit.
I mean I started by 'Nah" so I doubt I agreed I have a midlife crisis. On the other hand staying healthy and away from cancer and Alzheimers seems really nice, since I have personal experience of these diseases in my family. Also, the thought of death kinda scares me since im not religious or believe in any unproven shit like that, so I don't think I would call that midlife crisis but a general avertion towards sickness and death sounds more like it.
ildisiri I am not religious either, but I don't call it "shit" just because I don't believe in it. If you are actually 23, like you say you are, I would expect you to have at least a little bit of decency.
If we dont die it doesnt give us drive and ambition and appreciation...the nature of death is more important then u think...
The beauty of aging is that death is closer and you move on to another experience. Why would you want to be in this world longer?
I can't think of anything theoretically worse than living forever.

Well, an infinite life would pretty much require reversing entropy anyway.
Pingu 42 good thing us humans have trillions of years to figure out a way
I can. Not having a *choice* about living forever...
Besides, this is about only aging, and the infirmities that come with it.. No one is 'death-proof.' You should still wear a seat belt, and try to avoid homicidal people...just as you might do right now.
If somehow, in some form, I'm around long enough to see the last supermassive black hole evaporate, and know that from here on, the Universe will have a lot of nothing going on, it's still not literal 'immortality,' but I'll consider that a pretty good run...
She is so right, to risk her own life and make this sacrifice is a very small price if it can mean the end of so much suffering and death for so many, especially if she feels her thinking is sound and the results significant enough to warrant this risk. Good for you Liz for doing this for the potential benefit of so many, I commend you!
you have to have permission from IRB for ethics of the human experiment. I doubt she did. As such she is an unethical scientist.
If we live forever, life will loss meaning. It’s precious because we only have a short life to live which we want to live healthy and happy. I, for one do not want to live forever.
It's about living healthy, not forever.
There are many that teach that we do live for ever, not in the body, but in the spirit. You know, the life force that makes us conscious. The inner self does not exist by the rules of the physical body.
Not really it is exciting to see if we can colonize other planets, the journey would be just beggining right now.
meaning is something we create for ourselves... if its meaningful for you to die then thats great for you but when it comes to my perspective.. i think death is completely and utterly meaningless.
Ok you are free to die....no one is stopping you lol
Do you have a follow-up docu on this, @BBC News?
this actually makes me sad, seeing old people trying to be young again.

frostytokes why does it make you sad? What’s sad is the thought of being 80 and knowing your time is coming to an end any day now. It must be terrifying and if something can give them hope without tricking a vulnerable group of people into spending money on snake oil, then I see no issue.

I’d not want to die early but not want to live forever either. You are scared of death when you have regrets and a young family.
There has been so much pain and tragedy with our human race for centuries that I would not want to live long enough to witness more pain, cruelty, and destruction done by humanity.
Rather than look at the pain, cruelty and destruction, try looking at the love, kindness and joy. You might find that you learn to appreciate a long life.
Here's how to make this possible, you start at an early age, eat healthy foods,drink plenty of liquids,adequate sleep, be close to loved ones, limit negative thoughts and anxiety,have a real hope for the future, meaning y
I want to meet people like Cynthia and Nathaniel in the near future to help my parents and grandparents and cure their aging problems for good. I love the work these people are doing. Nice informative documentary BBC. I hope I get lucky.
I fully support the mission to get aging under medical control. I want my family, myself, and anyone else who wants it to be free from horrible age related diseases, disabilities and ill health which include: Alzhiemer's disease, other forms of dementia, loss of bone, muscle and lung function as well as weakened immune system. I look forward to a future where people have the ability to decide whether they will grow old and die from it, or stay youlthful.

Elizabeth Windsor has worked all her life for her country, her days began at 5am and lasted till she'd read the last of the despatches, and she has served her country better and longer than any corporate CEO, earning her income and providing work for hundreds of people. But mostly, she genuinely cares and is not there only for the bucks as most politicians are.

The reason chromosomes have telomeres which shorten is to prevent the prolongation of old cells which have acquired DNA damage and hence are at risk of developing tumours. Preventing this process may inhibit ageing but will promote the development of cancer cells.
infinitejest, sad but true.
@infinitejest. While that is true, the shortening of telomeres is only one of many defenses against damaged cells. It is a last ditch defense. For cells to ge to the point where a telomere is the executioner, many other processes must have already failed. Also, there are many processes inside cells to fix damage to DNA.
While it is true that we will not live forever (there are so many external causes of death and biological damage), it is possible to extend the part of life where we are in much better health, so that we might have a good biological life for 80 years instead of 50.
Of course, most of the "anti-aging" market is snake oil. lol
That blonde woman will most likely die of cancer... But hopefully she'll gather us a lot of information
@scotty3861 - you might want to let the person you are asking a citation from know by putting their handle at the start of your post.
not true, sperm cells maintain telomere length through telomerase and don't become cancerous. That's why your children, that come from your older cells, are born younger than you are. There are also animals that maintain telomere length and are negligibly senescent, like Lobsters and Alligators for example.
Terrifying this video, I feel strange after watching this, even I would say frightened about the future.
That creepy music in the background didn't help matters any!
I wouldn't worry about it... Each year tons of new unknown disease cause chemicals enter our environment. Not to mention new viruses. Watching climate change science documentaries is much more frightening. Sometimes things seem to be getting worse as the years go on and one must ask themselves, why live longer? The quality of items, foods, human interaction, natures wonders of the world is all going downhill and getting worse each year.

Great job Mary, always a pleasure to listen to Liz and other aging researchers! I think a lot of people will be surprised when some of us hit escape velocity in a few years but we won't realize we have till a few years later!
There are two projects that I would live all behind to be part on, the Sword Art online, Matrix and USS Calister device on the second place, but becoming a non-aging person will be the first one.
There is nothing more valueble then time on our existance,It doesn't matter where you are, the most of the people wants more time, so the research will keep going till it will be reached.
Every power aspect has the rich/poor duality but I prefer to live on a world with the immortality possibility, and throw myself on a black hole when I become tired to live, and regret possibily this thought during the journey.

I am sure with enough research and effort ( just look at what Alphabet is doing with Calisto) They will be able to make it wait a while longer for some, but I am sure that it will be expensive and thus only for the rich, thus making an unjust world even more so.

Yes, that's the right attitude, don't try to achieve something great in life, it's easier to bring down to your level the ones who did. It's people just like you that keeps humanity from achieving it's full potential. If we all were equally mediocre, you would't have a more confortable lifestyle than kings and queens did hundreds of years ago. You would be a miserable paysan working the fields, but at least you would be equal to the other miserable paysans, by the way with a life expectancy of 30 years or less. People like you know only to complain and envy others, all that while being too lazy to build their own success. Pathetic.

Oh please.... what quality? most of us waste our life working to only be able to enjoy life when our body is broken.
Its both, in equal measure. Being dead tends to have a negative impact on quality of life being experienced.
And the quality really depends on you!
I think the secret to longevity is simply based on what you eat the levels of stress and toxicity that you are exposed to. Everything in your body regenerates. It only depends on whether or not you give it the appropriate conditions to regenerate properly. The idea of living longer by simply taking a pill will have other consequences in my opinion proper sleep and exercise is very important as well
I am very interested in this topic!
Better health is a good thing, particularly when we get older so that we can enjoy our retirement without worries. But living eternally? Goodness, no thanks.
I can see why people are afraid of 'living forever', especially when it is involuntary. I don't think anybody is suggesting that we subject all humans to a kind of compulsory treatment that extends our lives indefinitely. Instead, the idea is to develop a treatment to prevent, slow, or reverse ageing, when and if a person wants to.
You can choose to die at 100 if you want to, some may want to live longer, some may not.
I see the real problem here as 'choice'. Sooner or later, human technology will stumble upon the fountain of youth but this will make people conflicted because now they are forced to decide on the most fundamental and arguably the biggest decision of their existence. Our lives were given to us by our parents, but now we have to decide if we want to take it away.
Imagine hating your mother for dying because she didn't 'choose' to live longer. Or, imagine your children hating you for living longer because they won't get your inheritance. In the past, we could blame death on ageing which takes individual choices out of the equation, but in the future, this may change.
Personally, I think people should be given a choice to extend their lives or die a natural death. I don't like the notion of 'not thinking about something' just because it is too hard. That's silly, and that's just avoiding reality. These are questions that everybody needs to think about and reflect on because it is what truly gives meaning to our lives.
"What am I living for?"
"Why do I do this?"
"Who will miss me when/if I'm gone?"
"Was I such a terrible person that nobody will miss me when I'm gone?"
If you think these questions are too hard and therefore you don't want to think about it, then you can choose to let ageing take you. But for those who need more time on this Earth to figure out the mysteries of life, they can choose to extend their lives.
This.
Exactly...well said my dear
Nice , wish more people thought like u
Apparently we live for the service of the God. Whether it exists or not.
Nobody will answer those questions, its not up to you to decide if you deserve to live longer. This will cause more trouble, and is not necessary

Apparently white bread ages you I believe because it's bleached.
@@jacquelinemullan4900 eating daily bread will age people to varying degrees due to fermentation.
Best to consume it occasionally if at all.
Fantastic reporting!
Everyone here appears to be aging, and the 80-year-old couple look every day of 80 but with lots of cosmetics. The woman nearly topples with brittle bones and muscle weakness when she stands to make her big proclamation.
yu can avoid aging:
dont smoke
dont do drugs
drnk in moderation
eat healthy
move
all these things are free
Healthy living will get you to 85 to 100 max
JogBird smoking weed prevents Alzheimer's, helps people who suffer epilepsy and is great for cancer survivors. that's a drug, and illegal
JogBird but can u avoid death

Rubbish. I've known people who've smoked and drinked heavily for over 50 years, and I've known healthy people who have died young from cancers and stuff. Simply enjoy life and age gracefully.

Nathaniel David does look way younger, for someone who is 50 years old. Im sure he has experimented on himself.
Why do humans want to live longer to suffer more? And at other living beings expense? How ridiculous and selfish is that?
These people are convinced we are not in a multi-player simulation?
How does the anti-aging therapy affect the offspring of the mice? This is a very important question.
In the Sci Fi story "Cities in Flight" the characters were able to explore the stars due to their extended lifespan. It took a combination of therapies to massively extend people's age. To around 800 years. Interesting.
in all the time you are worrying about getting older, you could be living your life to the max and have the best time possible and be the best version of yourself.
in all the time you brush your theets, you could be eating the best possible chocolate
This's a great show. I'd really love to live longer with young and healthy body and mind. There's also a documentary on this subject by professor Michio Kaku, 'Life time'. Highly recommended!
Don't spend your precious time trying to get more time... That just doesn't make any sense. Just accept that everyone is going to die one day. Expending your lifetime is just a temporary solution, humans will never be 100% statisfied; we are a greedy species.
Exactly, hence why we don’t even deserve to live forever - unless we were “reborn as pure spirits” aka something out of this world.
Honestly, living forever seems like a punishment to me. Absolute hell. The first few hundreds of years it could be fun, but eventually you will have seen so many bad things happen that you don't feel any emotions anymore. You won't have anything left to do after a while, and when the entire human race is gone you will still be there... On your own, with no one to talk to, no one to comfort you, no one to tell you that there will be an end; because there won't be an end.
Gosh I don't even want to THINK about living forever any longer. Seems like the worst thing that could happen to a person.
I worked in child welfare for many years. Met many people, parents, children and co workers who had seen terrible things. I also knew plenty of people who hadn't seen much. Seeing bad things doesn't seem to deplete emotions, in fact, I'd be tempted to say the opposite is true.
Huh? So with your thinking, scientists would have have developed antibiotics...
The human lifespan was around 30 years, but it's now 80. You like to say "Don't spend your precious time trying to get more time", but are you going to say you don't want to live past 30?
Who the fuck wants to live for hundreds of years.
Tony Blair
Niall T who wants to die tomorrow? And who wants to die 30 years from now?
Me
I want.

People who can interest themselves in lots of things.One of the facets of growing up and growing older is being interested in less things compared to the potential in a child.
Imagine the increase in population and the food shortages. Everything grows old for a reason. That is why we even have expire dates. People will become mentally unstable if keeps living for long years. Most people in this video will grow old. This life is temporary. The real life waits after death. And death is just a transition from this dimension to the one we came from.
My family always say stop all things what I'm doing because I am old as 64 ages. Too sad but I will never stop myself busy.
Sick to watch the elderly desperately cling to a few more years, not preparing for good ending of their life.
/Satisfaction of your life shouldn't be
measured by the number of years you
lived/
ironically, it's the people who think it should be that don't how to live.
even if you could, how would you implement it to a vast amount of different specialised cells and the new cells that will be born?
Amazing and inspiring
Yes. No sugar and cereals.
I think aging is somehow beautiful up to some point where you start to develop problems because of that, but aging shows experience, emotions, it shows part of who you are and how has life shaped you some might even have the luck to age and look better than when they were young, more sophisticated even.
What is the real beauty in looking 20 all your life besides the outside, if what you have inside is all rotten?
Age can bring also sometimes respect from the youngsters, it is something that should not be looked at as horrible, stopping the process at some point may be beneficial for the health but the appearance is not to be considered the whole purpose.
İd rather die younger, but stay healthy and youthful while im still alive
It's not meant to be. In my opinion, we are tampering with something that we don't "completely" understand from every vantage point. In order to "completely" understand it would require perfect knowledge, which we don't have.
