Death is a fascinating and frightening subject, but humanity has made incredible progress in this field since the 1840s. If we look at the median age at death over this period, it has risen from the mid-40s to the mid-80s in 2020. Humanity has managed to essentially double the range of expected ages in that period. This raises the big question of where we go from here as a species, and whether we will see an increase in that age over a similar period. Stream this movie on Afdah live.
