100 Plus

100 Plus
Tune is as Patricia interviews Sonia Arrison, author of 100 Plus: How The Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, From Careers And Relationships To Family And Faith, which extols the many scientific and technological advancements that are rapidly allowing people to live ever longer, and more importantly healthier, lives. But such advancements are only possible if society becomes impassioned about the possibility of living to 150 years and beyond and pushes the boundaries of current physical and technological limitations. She lays out a thorough roadmap of the exciting new world confronting us, where fresh organs for transplants will be grown in laboratories, cloned stem cells will bring previously unstoppable death-sentence diseases to their knees, and living past 100 will be the rule, not the exception. Arrison brings a decade of experience researching and writing about cutting-edge advances in science and technology to 100 PLUS, painting a vivid picture of a future that only recently seemed like science fiction but now is very real. More importantly, she delivers a thorough and incisive summary of how longer and healthier lives will upend our personal, financial, and spiritual habits and how we must work to speed up progress so that longer lives are not only available to the next generation, but also to those who are adults today
