Can we really live younger for longer? Can we beat the diseases that take away our joy for life and ultimately kill us? Can we push the boundaries of human longevity much further than we have so far? Could we even live forever? And most importantly of... all, if we could, do we want to?

The quest for longer life, and an end to disease, is perhaps the ultimate frontier in biological science. But despite this, most scientific and medical endeavour in the past has been directed towards treating sickness and disease. It hasn’t addressed the underlying cause, which for most diseases, is ageing itself.

Now for the first time in human history, science and technology are catching up to the dream of living forever. It’s become the new space race and no expense is being spared.

In this ground-breaking new four-part documentary series – Do You Want to Live Forever? - hosts Tracy Grimshaw and Dr Nick Coatsworth will look at the extraordinary advances in medicine and science that are just a few years away from defeating the worst ravages of ageing. It’ll be a deep dive into the science of longevity and explore four big questions: why we die; how science can help us wind back our biological clocks; how we may one day be able to cure previously incurable diseases; and what living forever might look like.

As part of the documentary investigation, the program will take four pairs of everyday Australians through a series of medically-supervised trials and health interventions that may provide clues to help us live longer.
