Aging is one of those “be careful what you wish for” things.  Kids can’t wait to grow up, grown-ups wish they were kids again, and the elderly miss being adults.  But do they have to?  Why can’t we be like the noble hydra, which lives forever (until something eats it)?  It’s a question humans have been asking since our species’ first broken hip.  Judy continues to ask it, with the added benefit of thousands of years of theory, research, and modern technology.  Turns out we can increase our lifespans significantly.  No word yet on hydra-level immortality.
