Medical advancements are taking shape which will drastically change our lives and allow us to live for hundreds of years beyond our natural lifespan. Yet, with these blessings come complicated issues. Some of which we can predict, others we cannot fathom.

What would you do if you were offered the opportunity to extend your life to an unnatural span of time (E.g.; 100 or more years on top of your natural lifespan). Would you take advantage of such advances in technology for the desire to continue living or would you rather age gracefully and die naturally? This, among other conundrums, is the focus point of discussion on today's episode with our guest, Eve Herold.

Personally, Bob would not want to extend his life if it meant he would be 100 or 200 years removed from the last time he had seen a loved one.

In this episode of Mysterious Matters, we discuss the information Eve received as she tapped the minds of leading edge doctors, scientists and engineers who are actively engaged in developing new ways of living with certain illnesses such as kidney disease, heart disease, degenerative retinal disease, and even aging itself.

By utilizing once futuristic technologies and medical advancements such as Nanotechnology and Stem Cells, we will one day realize a world without need for medications. For those who are on Dialysis due to kidney failure, there is hope through an artificial kidney (being worked on now!).

Those who are diabetic and depend on insulin (insulin pumps and even continuous glucose meters) we could see an artificial pancreas within the next twenty years; thereby effectively curing diabetes for those with type 1, type 1 ½, and type 2.

Scientists have even found a fat gene; there has been success in shutting it off in mice. The next step is human testing.

Eve Herold has had a lifelong fascination with issues at the intersection of science, ethics and society. She has written and spoken extensively about the transformative power of cutting-edge science and medicine. Driven by an insatiable curiosity about what lies ahead for the human race, Eve’s work crosses categories, exploring issues in biology and medicine, bioethics, social issues, end-of-life matters, aging and human-technology interaction.

Always at the center of her writings are real men and women seeking to navigate a world that is changing at lightning speed.
Eve has had a long career in science communications. She is past director of the Office of Communications and Public Affairs at the American Psychiatric Association and has served as Director of Pubic Policy Research and Education at the Genetics Policy Institute. Other positions include Public Education director at the Stem Cell Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization promoting biomedical research and education.

She is also the former managing editor of The Gerontologist, a scholarly journal that explores the many facets of aging and its impact on society.

Eve has written and spoken extensively about the emerging field of stem cell research, publishing the book Stem Cell Wars: Inside Stories from the Front Lines in 2006. The book won a commendation in popular medicine from the British Medical Association. Her writings have appeared in newspapers and magazines nationwide.

She has written several publications on Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related and degenerative diseases and their impact on patients, families, caregivers and society.

Her book, Stem Cell Wars, has been included in the syllabus in a class on science communications at the University of California at Berkeley, and she is a contributor to the Springer International Encyclopedia of Sciences and Religions. Her new book, Beyond Human: How Cutting-Edge Science is Extending Our Lives, has been nominated for a Kirkus Prize in Nonfiction
