Episode 27:

John Davis is a Professor of Philosophy at Cal State Fullerton and is the author of New Methuselahs: The Ethics of Life-Extension. With a book dedicated to answering all the questions about life extension, John Davis is your expert for a philosophical and ethical discussion.

We might commonly ask ourselves are all lives equal but John Davis asks a very different question, are all deaths equal? And can life extension make them more or less equal? How will we feel this inequality on a day-to-day basis? We cover this and more including questions of identity, generational connection, and limitations on childbirth.
