In America, death is regarded as a distant, solitary activity. It’s something done behind the closed curtains of a hospital or hidden away in a nursing home. We’re born alone, and we die alone. But, to embrace mortality one must face it. Katherine meets death specialists Dr. Sunita Puri, a palliative medicine physician, and Ladybird Morgan, a registered nurse and death doula, to excavate the way death brings meaning to life -- and what the immortalists and transhumanists are missing by pushing it away.

In 2015, journalist Zoltan Istvan became the first person to run for president on a transhumanist platform. His campaign centered a right to unlimited life for all humans…as well as cyborgs and robots. Zoltan Istvan believes that how people treat AI will become the civil rights battle of our time. And that he would be the right leader to help guide America through the singularity. That is, of course, until the AI revolution actually began. A Sony Music Entertainment production.

Live Forever | 5. The Descendants
Former tech employees Malcolm and Simone Collins believe that as the population dwindles, cultural pluralism and the US’s economic system will falter in ways that will cause untold suffering. The solution: have more children. They call themselves “secular Calvinists” who participate in “descendant worship.” But the duo have been dubbed eugenicists on more than one occasion. For them immortality is not about holding on to what you have now, but instead about looking to what comes next. Namely, their children and their children’s children.
