Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, frighteningly imagined creatures, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries and all sorts of weirdness. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....
And on today’s Dark enigma well, this one was a real philosophical suggestion, but I think it fits in so well with what the show is about, so I included it – the listener didn’t know if it would be a fit, but all ideas are welcome here! So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say lifespan that will be a single shot and every time I say human, that will be a double shot. Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… so grab your sciency lab coat and your black-rimmed spectacles so we look all smarty-pants for today’s episode and Who Wants To Live Forever Anyway and the Limits to the Human Lifespan
Mankind has long been fascinated with the pursuit of prolonging our life. The idea of living longer or even gaining immortality has featured in legends and has over the centuries been the obsession of countless mystics, philosophers, doctors, authors, and great thinkers. Indeed the desire to evade death and escape our own imminent mortality has consumed us since time unremembered. Yet as far as we have come along with our vast medical technology and advanced civilization, there lingers the question, are we even meant to be able to attain the expansive lifespans we yearn for?
