On this Living to 100 Club podcast, our guest is Joel Geiderman, MD. Our guest has served as the co-chair of Emergency Medicine at Cedars-Sainai Medical Center in Los Angeles for thirty years. The focus of this podcast, however, centers on Dr. Geiderman’s concerns about the ethical, social, and economic consequences of stopping the natural aging process. What happens if people no longer get old? In his new medical thriller, The Plasma Cell Report, our guest has taken up the serious societal dilemmas that are posed if and when the aging process is cured – that is, stopped. If the aging clock starts at some point, what will happen when science learns how to stop it? Will there be competition for life-prolonging treatments? Can we run out of resources to provide for everyone on the planet? Will a policy like “death control” become necessary to pare down the elderly population? Alarming questions that are explored in our guest’s new book of fiction, but questions that must be raised as science flirts with prolonging life indefinitely.
