Does our fear of death prevent us from living fully?

From gene therapy and fad-diets to cryonic frozen corpses, many still hope to find a way to live forever. Some scientists are starting to think death might be reversible. But Heidegger famously thought life's transience gave it meaning. Could we enhance experience by embracing its end? Or can science one day remove death's shadow?

She has published extensively on Deleuze, Guattari, Blanchot, Serres, Irigaray, queer theory, body modification, posthuman theory, animal rights and horror films.

He is a James Martin Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, where he focuses on societal and ethical issues surrounding human enhancement and new technology.
