42:19Now PlayingHumans have always tried to prolong life and battle mortality, but what do the current influx of biohackers reveal about this era of individual responsibility?
Timothy Caulfield, a professor and the research director at the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta, studies how health and science are represented in the public sphere. The lines between wellness culture, longevity, and biohacking are beginning to blur, and Caulfield offers advice about how to dodge misinformation and unproven theories while still pursuing a long and meaningful life.
