Whilst researching cryonics for a science made simple show a few years ago, she became fascinated with people’s desire to extend their life expectancy, and even to aim for immortality.  Here she explores just a few ways that we have tried to be live forever, and wonders if science will ever achieve it and perhaps more importantly, should we try?
