TRAILER - Forever Young: The Promise of Human Regeneration

From lab-grown organs to tissue engineering, regenerative medicine holds the potential to deliver eternal life. How close are we to a future where we can replace damaged limbs like car parts and create healthy organs of our own design?

PROGRAM FULL DESCRIPTION
Synthetic blood mass-produced to meet supply shortages. Livers and kidneys “bioprinted” on demand. Missing fingers and toes re-grown with a jolt of bioelectricity. Regenerative medicine promises to do more than just treat disease, injuries, or congenital conditions. It holds the potential to rejuvenate, heal, or completely replace damaged tissue and organs. If successful, regenerative medicine will have immense impact on how we care for the injured, sick, and aging — and how we think about death. This program will explore mind-boggling medical advances as well as the societal and economic implications of a future in which everybody may truly be forever young.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation

And eternal youth in the real-life reverse their aging process in humans turn back the clock fountain of youth in real life. I hate old age I want to become younger, younger age backward, and age regression in humans. STOP aging forever and Stop growing up forever in humans. I want to be a teenager forever permantly.

We are always healing inside, that's Nature's gift. In my opinion the average lifespan of a person should be around 150 years old but we tend to waste our bodies instead of looking after them properly. This technology can be used to regenerate the pancreas of people with Diabetes - on that point, it\'s very strange to my mind that Diabetes and other man-made chronic conditions haven't already been cured. But then again, the medical industry couldn't afford to lose the income from billions of people who have these conditions. That wouldn't be fair

Whatever the technology will be, sign me up. Science forward!

When Davit Albert talks my brain neurons grow with couple of thousands due to the pressure to capture his mental picture.

In 2025 is possible regenerative human body part?

[sesshomarusma]

if what they are saying is that they will use 3d printing to generate an intact heart replacing a dameged one then why dont we use a natural preserved heart thats even easier

[jeanqnguyen]

Hell no I wouldn’t want that, a 60 year life time is More than enough, the repetition of being surrounded mundane-expediency- people and instagram already making me want to jump ship

[alienrs]
